A METHOD AND EQUIPMENT FOR FORMING A LAYER OF A COATING MATERIAL ON A TAPE-LIKE SUBSTRATE, IN PARTICULAR FOR MAKING SUPERCONDUCTIVE TAPES

摘要

Provided herein are a method and an apparatus (1) for making a layer (2) of coating material (3) on a tape substrate (4), in particular for making superconductive tapes. A precursor (12) of the coating material (3) evaporation area (13), and through the evaporation area evaporated coating material (13) to enable deposition of the (3) on one face (17) of the is evaporated so as to the substrate (4) is form an carried substrate (4); the substrate (4) is carried through the evaporation area (13) along a curved path (60), in particular with a stretch (27) wound on a rotating carousel (25), in such a way that the deposition of the coating material (3) to form the layer (2) will be performed on a non-planar portion (16) of the substrate (4).
