Abstract
Certain example embodiments relate to a burner for use in combustion deposition depositing a coating on a substrate. An infrared (IR) burner generates radiant energy in an area between the burner and the substrate. A delivery device (1) provides a stream comprising a substantially vaporized precursor and a carrier gas from a location remote from the radiant energy generated by the IR burner, and (2) causes the stream to flow between the substrate and the IR burner. The stream is substantially laminar when exiting the delivery device. The radiant energy is sufficient to cause the precursor in the stream to be combusted and to heat the substrate to allow at least a portion of the combusted precursor to form the coating, directly or indirectly, on the substrate. The burners of certain example embodiments may be used, for example, to combustion deposition deposit metal oxide coatings onto glass substrates.
