Abstract
A method of depositing a layer on a piece by sputter deposition, a coater and a processor for controlling a coater in accordance with the method are provided. The method includes providing deposition of metallic and reactive species simultaneously on a piece for forming a layer under predetermined sputtering conditions, thereby providing a deposited layer on the piece comprising a metal compound. The deposited layer is subsequently irradiated and the optical transmittance is measured. A measured parameter related to the measured radiation is compared with one stored value of that parameter. The sputtering conditions are thereby adapted as a result of the comparison.
