Patent number: 5798142Abstract: A method of pyrolytically forming a silica-containing coating on a glass substrate at an elevated temperature. Silane, oxygen, a radical scavenger gas and a carrier gas are combined as a precursor mixture, and the precursor is directed toward and along the surface of the heated glass substrate. The presence of the radical scavenger allows the silane, which is pyrophoric, to be premixed with the oxygen without undergoing ignition and premature reaction at the operating temperatures. The radical scavenger further provides control of and permits optimization of the kinetics of the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reaction on the glass. A preferred combination of precursor materials includes monosilane and oxygen, with ethylene as the radical scavenger, and including nitrogen as a carrier gas.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 1996Date of Patent: August 25, 1998Assignee: Libbey-Owens-Ford Co.Inventor: Michel J.

Patent number: 5090985Abstract: Vaporized reactants, useful for chemical vapor deposition of a coating on the surface of a hot substrate, are prepared by initially heating a liquid coating precursor, injecting the liquid coating precursor into a vaporization chamber, simultaneously admitting a blend gas into the vaporization chamber, heating the liquid and blend gas to cause the liquid to vaporize at a temperature below its standard vaporization temperature, and thoroughly mixing the coating precursor vapor and blend gas, to produce a stream of vaporized reactant for pyrolytic decomposition at the surface of the hot substrate. A horizontal thin film evaporator provides a particularly suitable vaporization chamber for the present process.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 1990Date of Patent: February 25, 1992Assignee: Libbey-Owens-Ford Co.Inventors: Michel J.
