Abstract
A method and a device are provided for homogeneously coating surfaces of 3D substrates in a vacuum chamber which has a sputtering source, such as a planar source or a tube or double-tube source, wherein individual substrates, with a curved substrate surface directed toward the sputtering source, are able to be moved past said source in a translational manner. The sputtering source is fastened to a chamber wall within a vacuum chamber so as to have two degrees of freedom such that the sputtering source is able to be set both in terms of its spacing to a surface to be coated of a substrate, which is moved past in front of said sputtering source in a translational manner, and with respect to the surface normal of the surface to be coated proceeding from a fixed point such that the surface normal deviation is 0° at all times.
