Claim 0:
1. A method for fabricating a coating onto glass substrates, comprising:
loading the substrates onto a plurality of carriers;
transporting the plurality of carriers into a batch processing chamber having a plurality of sputtering sources;
transporting the plurality of carriers in unison inside the batch processing chamber so as to pass each of the carriers in front of the sputtering sources multiple time to thereby form multiple layers of an anti-reflective coating (ARC) on the substrates
transporting the carriers, one at a time, onto a linear transport section comprising a plurality of linear processing chambers, each of the linear processing chambers configured to process a single carrier at a time;
operating at least one of the linear processing chambers to form a diamond-like coating (DLC) over the ARC; and,
operating at least one of the linear processing chambers to form an oleophobic layer over the DLC.
