Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
A method for depositing an electrically nonconductive spinel-type film comprising the oxides of cobalt and tin on a glass substrate comprising the steps of: a. maintaining a substrate in an oxidizing atmosphere at a temperature sufficient to pyrolyze metal compounds to metal oxides; b. contacting the surface of the substrate at said temperature with an aqueous solution consisting essentially of water, a water soluble cobalt salt and a water soluble tin compound capable of thermal decomposition to cobalt oxide and tin oxide; and c. thermally reacting said cobalt salt and said tin compound in said oxidizing atmosphere to form an electrically nonconductive film comprising a cobalt/tin oxide spinel wherein cobalt is the predominant metal in the film.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
117 words
A method for depositing an electrically nonconductive spinel-type film comprising the oxides of cobalt and tin on a glass substrate comprising the steps of: a. maintaining a substrate in an oxidizing atmosphere at a temperature sufficient to pyrolyze metal compounds to metal oxides; b. contacting the surface of the substrate at said temperature with an aqueous solution consisting essentially of water, a water soluble cobalt salt and a water soluble tin compound capable of thermal decomposition to cobalt oxide and tin oxide; and c. thermally reacting said cobalt salt and said tin compound in said oxidizing atmosphere to form an electrically nonconductive film comprising a cobalt/tin oxide spinel wherein cobalt is the predominant metal in the film.
