Abstract
A method comprising providing a target material (115), providing a substrate (107), ablating the target material (115) to form ablated target particulate material (117), directing the ablated particulate material (117) toward the substrate (107) with a gas flow, and coating the substrate surface (107).
Claims20
A method of coating a substrate surface, comprising:
- providing a target material;
- providing a substrate;
- ablating said target material to form ablated target particulate material;
- directing the ablated target particulate material with a gas flow;
- and coating said substrate surface with said ablated target particulate material to form a coated substrate.

A method of coating a substrate surface, comprising:
- providing a target material;
- providing a substrate;
- ablating said target material to form ablated target particulate material;
- directing the ablated target particulate material toward the substrate with a gas flow;
- and coating said substrate surface with said ablated target particulate material to form a coated substrate;
- wherein the coating occurs at a pressure of about 1 Torr or higher;
- and wherein the coating results in a coating thickness on the substrate less than about 1 mm.
