Abstract

Abstract Haze-free tin oxide coatings are made from an organotin compound which ordinarily gives only hazy coatings. The improvement comprises first forming an undercoat of a haze-free tin oxide film on a substrate, preferably by decomposition of monophenyltin trichloride. Thereafter the tin oxide overcoating assumes the haze-free characteristics of the undercoat film.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 99 words
A method of forming haze-free tin oxide coatings on a substrate from an organotin compound which usually forms only hazy films under advantageous deposition conditions which comprises: forming a haze-free tin oxide undercoat film on said substrate by contacting said substrate at a temperature of 450° C. to 650° C. with a vapor of monophenyltin trichloride and thereafter depositing a desired tin oxide overcoat from the thermal decomposition of a tin compound selected from the group of tin tetrachloride, dibutyltin diacetate, dimethyl tin chloride and monobutyltin trichloride whereby the tin oxide overcoat assumes the haze-free characteristics of said undercoat.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 99 words
A method of forming haze-free tin oxide coatings on a substrate from an organotin compound which usually forms only hazy films under advantageous deposition conditions which comprises: forming a haze-free tin oxide undercoat film on said substrate by contacting said substrate at a temperature of 450° C. to 650° C. with a vapor of monophenyltin trichloride and thereafter depositing a desired tin oxide overcoat from the thermal decomposition of a tin compound selected from the group of tin tetrachloride, dibutyltin diacetate, dimethyl tin chloride and monobutyltin trichloride whereby the tin oxide overcoat assumes the haze-free characteristics of said undercoat.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 11 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the substrate is glass.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 17 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said tin oxide overcoat is a conductive tin oxide coating.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 24 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein both said tin oxide undercoat and said tin oxide overcoat have a haze of less than 1%.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 23 words
A method according to claim 3 wherein said conductive tin oxide overcoat is formed from a monoalkyltin trichloride and a fluorine dopant therewith.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 20 words
A method according to claim 5 wherein said conductive tin oxide coating is deposited from monobutyltin trichloride and trifluoroacetic acid.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 17 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said undercoat has a thickness of at least 10 nm.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 20 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said overcoat tin oxide is made by chemical vapor deposition from monobutyltin trichloride.
