Abstract

See full text

The process according to the invention makes it possible to deposit a transparent conductive oxide film on a toughened glass substrate placed inside a chamber. It consists in providing sources containing an oxygen-based liquid compound, a liquid compound of the metal intended to form the oxide, and a dopant in gaseous or liquid form, respectively; establishing a temperature between 130 and 300.degree. C. and a pressure between 0.01 and 2 mbar in the chamber; and then bringing said sources into communication with the chamber, which has the effect of vaporizing the liquids at their surface, of drawing them up into the chamber without having to use a carrier gas, and of making them react therein with the dopant so that the oxide layer is formed on the substrate.
