Abstract
A method and apparatus for vacuum deposition and annealing wherein specimens 18 and 20 of coating material within a vacuum chamber 2 are evaporated by a laser beam 24, while the substrate 16 is scanned by another laser beam 36 to cause localized heating of the substrate and deposited coating materials to an energy slightly below the bonding energy of the coating materials to promote annealing of the coating materials and to drive off contaminant materials.
