ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for the simultaneous plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition of thin film material onto an elongated web of substrate material at a plurality of discrete spatially separated deposition zones. In order to accomplish said simultaneous deposition, the web of substrate material is operatively positioned so as to assume a serpentine path of travel through a reduced pressure enclosure. By using an elongated linear applicator as a source of microwave energy, a high rate of uniform deposition of said thin film material over a plurality of large areas of the web of substrate material can be simultaneously achieved without heating of said web above the melting point thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the web of substrate material is formed of a low temperature, microwave transmissive synthetic plastic resin and the thin film material deposited thereupon forms a barrier coating for preventing oxygen diffusion therethrough.
