Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to an apparatus for coating of glass, it particularly relates to an apparatus for patterned coating of a glass by chemical vapour deposition.
- BACKGROUND [0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed disclosure, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
- Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) is a well-known process in which substances that are in vapour phase are deposited on another material under a controlled environment.
- CVD is one of the widely used techniques in coating glass surfaces.
- the glass surface is subjected to gas containing coating substances that are in vapour phase. Further, the coating substances are deposited on the glass surface layer by layer to finally obtain a coated glass.
- CVD coating of the glass is performed on-line i.e., on the glass that is exiting the float.
- Conventional CVD coating apparatus comprises a beam that runs across the entire width of the glass.
- the beam comprises of a gas duct within which the gas is supplied and further the gas is directed towards the glass surface using a graphite block that spans across the entire width of the glass surface. As a result, the entire surface of the glass is coated with a coating material.
- a conventional solution to obtain patterned coating on a glass is by selective etching process. Firstly, the entire glass surface is coated by the CVD coating apparatus. Further, certain portions where coating is not required are selectively removed by etching thereby forming patterns/textures of coating on the glass surface. As it is apparent, such a process is not an efficient way of obtaining patterned coating on a glass surface because, firstly, the entire glass surface is coated including the region where the coating is undesirable. This results in increased consumption of coating material and energy for coating. Secondly, to etch the coating additional chemicals are used and further considerable energy is also spent on etching.
- US20040161614A1 discloses a technique of obtaining patterned coating of glass surface.
- the cited reference particularly relates to air-atomized spray coating which is completely different from the CVD coating process.
- the reference discloses a technique of obtaining a gradient of coating using CVD but completely fails to disclose about obtaining patterned CVD coating of glass.
- an apparatus for patterned coating of a glass by chemical vapour deposition is disclosed.
- the apparatus comprises a gas distributor unit and at least two gas director units.
- the gas distributor unit further comprises a gas duct configured to receive a gas for coating the glass by chemical vapour deposition, wherein a slot is defined on an inferior side of the gas duct to serve as an exit for the gas from the gas duct.
- Each of the gas director units is engaged to the gas distributor unit, wherein each of the gas director units is positioned below the gas duct and configured to receive gas from the gas duct and direct the gas towards the glass.
- the method includes supplying a gas comprising a coating material through a gas duct, wherein the gas duct defines a slot for the gas to exit the gas duct into at least two gas director units. Further, covering a region of the slot between the two gas director units using a cover plate. Furthermore, passing the gas from the gas duct to at least two gas director units positioned below the gas duct. Finally, coating the glass by the gas flowing through the gas director units, wherein a region of the glass between the gas director units is devoid of coating due to the cover plate, thereby forming a patterned coating on the glass surface.
