Abstract
In a vapor deposition method which can be used to deposit mixtures of materials in progressively varying amounts on a substrate () and which can be used for a variety of purposes, but is of especial value in combinatorial chemistry, the path of the vaporized material from the source () to the substrate () is partially interrupted by a mask (), the positioning of the mask in a plane parallel to the plane defined by the substrate () being such that the material is deposited on the substrate () in a thickness which increases substantially continuously in a direction along the substrate ().
