Methods and apparatus for measuring a thickness of a coating on an moving object are provided. Light is directed toward the object at a predetermined location on the object such that a portion of the light interacts with the object. A 1D and/or 2D maximum intensities for at least one wavelength channel is captured that is produced by the portion of the light interacting with the object. A measured average intensity of the wavelength channel and/or intensities and their arithmetic derivatives of multi wavelength channel geometries is converted into 1D (averaged) and/or 2D thickness values. Based on these values an acceptability of the coating is evaluated and thickness calculated.

Optical intensity method to measure the thickness of coatings deposited on substrates

Methods and apparatus for measuring a thickness of a coating on an moving object are provided. Light is directed toward the object at a predetermined location on the object such that a portion of the light interacts with the object. A I D and/or 2D maximum intensities for at least one wavelength channel is captured that is produced by the portion of the light interacting with the object. A measured average intensity of the wavelength channel and/or intensities and their arithmetic derivatives of multi wavelength channel geometries is converted into I D (averaged) and/or 2D thickness values. Based on these values an acceptability of the coating is evaluated and thickness calculated.

Object position independent method to measure the thickness of coatings deposited on curved objects moving at high rates

Complexes of metals and N,O polydentate ligands are useful as precursors in the preparation of doped zinc oxide coatings by chemical vapor deposition.

Chemical vapor deposition using N,O polydentate ligand complexes of metals

A low-resistivity, doped zinc oxide coated glass article is formed by providing a hot glass substrate having a surface on which a coating is to be deposited, the surface being at a temperature of at least 400&#xb0; C. A zinc containing compound, an oxygen-containing compound and an aluminum- or gallium-containing compound are directed to the surface on which the coating is to be deposited. The zinc containing compound, oxygen-containing compound, and aluminum- or gallium-containing compound are mixed together for a sufficient time that an aluminum or gallium doped zinc oxide coating is formed on the surface at a deposition rate of greater than 5 nm/second.

Tin oxide having high mobility and a low electron concentration, and methods for producing layers of the tin oxide layers on a substrate by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) are disclosed. The tin oxide may undoped polycrystalline n-type tin oxide or it may be doped polycrystalline p-type tin oxide. When the layer of tin oxide is formed on a crystalline substrate, substantially crystalline tin oxide is formed. Dopant precursors for producing doped p-type tin oxide are also disclosed.

An atmospheric chemical vapor deposition method of making a zinc oxide coated glass article, made by directing one or more streams of gaseous reactants, specifically a zinc containing compound, and an oxygen containing compound, onto a surface of a transparent substrate material heated to a temperature of 400&#xb0; C. or less.

Low temperature method of making a zinc oxide coated article and the coated article made thereby

The invention described and claimed herein relates to a chemical vapor deposition process for depositing a zinc oxide coating on a substrate by delivering two gaseous precursor streams to a surface of the substrate, and mixing the gaseous precursor streams at the substrate surface for a time sufficiently short so as to form a zinc oxide coating at a deposition rate greater than 5 nm/second.
