Method and apparatus for the coating of substrates (1, 1', . . . ), preferably by cathode sputtering in a vacuum apparatus consisting of at least one sputtering chamber (6) in which different coating systems can be applied to the preferably curved substrates to be coated (1, 1', . . . ), the substrates (1, 1', . . . ) can be moved in a direction B through the vacuum apparatus and pass through the sputtering chamber (6) repeatedly in direction B as well as in the opposite direction in the so-called multipass mode, the uncoated substrates (1, 1', . . . ) or substrate carriers (12, 11', . . . ) being combined before entering the sputtering chamber into groups of several, preferably two substrates (1, 1', . . . ) each, and these run simultaneously through the sputtering chamber (6) in the so-called dual multipass mode.
