LEYBOLD O P T I C S 6 Glass Coatings Attraction of coated glass Coated Glass has ever attracted mankind’s interest similar to glass itself. Due to its durability and lustrous appearance it has always been treated as a treasure of the rich and mighty. A secret on its own Glass making has been a secret for a long time. A status which eventually changed during the 1950s with the introduction of float glass mass production which was equally a milestone for large area application of float glass in manifold architectural applications. Since these times coating technology has been developed not only...

LEYBOLD O P T I C S 12 Glass Coatings – Applied science Coating technology The glass coating platform Apollon was designed to accommodate the latest deposition technology. Due to its performance, ease of operation and similarly reliability sputter deposition is the standard technology for coating large areas with high repeatability and ultimate precision. For sputter deposition a low pressure, high voltage discharge in an Argon atmosphere is generated and the ionized Argon atoms are accelerated towards a target of the material which is to be deposited onto the glass substrate. Like a golf ball...
