Abstract:
A method for coating a conductive substrate with a chemical compound or element, said method comprising the steps of:(a) providing a precursor liquid housed in a reactor, said liquid forming a liquid bed for the conductive substrate;(b) immersing the conductive substrate in said liquid bed;(c) passing a stream of gas though an opening in said reactor such that said gas stream passes through said liquid, said gas stream fluidizing said liquid bed to put said liquid bed into a turbulent state;(d) providing a means for heating conductive materials; and(e) heating the conductive substrate directly with said heating means to a temperature sufficient to vaporize said precursor liquid to form a vaporized material; and(f) raising a temperature of the vaporized material so that the vaporized material decomposes in the vicinity of the substrate and deposits a solid coating on the substrate.
