The invention relates to a process for depositing under vacuum a multilayers coating stack on a flat glass substrate and to a modular coater for the deposit of thin layers on a flat glass substrate. A gas separation zone disposed between two depositing zones of the modular coater comprises at least one gas injector in the vicinity of the convoying path for the glass substrate which passes through apertures from a depositing zone towards the other depositing zone via the separation zone. The invention allows improvement of the separation factor between the two depositing zones.

Modular coater separation

The invention relates to a method for producing metal or semiconductor oxide, nitride or oxynitride films on a substrate, by means of the PECVD method, including the steps that involve: (i) having a low-pressure PECVD device including at least one plasma source that includes at least one electrode connected to an AC, DC, or drawn DC generator for depositing said films on the substrate; and (ii) applying electrical power to the plasma source and applying, on the substrate, an oxide film gas precursor made of metal or semiconductor nitrides or oxynitrides and a reactive gas made of oxygen, oxygen derivatives, or nitrogen derivatives. The invention also relates to metal or semiconductor oxide, nitride, or oxynitride films obtained by the method.
