METHOD OF DEPOSITING DLC INCLUSIVE COATING SYSTEM ON SUBSTRATE INCLUDING STEP OF HEATING SUBSTRATE DURING ION BEAM DEPOSITION OF DLC INCLUSIVE COATING SYSTEM

摘要

A substrate is coated with a coating system including at least one diamond-like carbon (DLC) inclusive layer(s) using an ion beam deposition technique. Prior and/or during the ion beam deposition of the DLC inclusive layer, the substrate (e.g., glass substrate) is heated to a temperature of from about 100-400 degrees C so that at least a surface of the substrate is heated when the DLC inclusive layer(s) is deposited thereon via the ion beam deposition technique. This heating may result in improved adherence of a coating system to the underlyling substrate.
