Patent ID: 8298614

Claim:
A method of depositing a multilayered coating on a substrate, which coating is tailored to provide a particular characteristic behavior, wherein all layers of said multilayered coating are deposited from a vapor phase, wherein said multilayered coating includes at least one oxide-based layer and at least one organic-based layer, wherein the depositing from the vapor phase employs a stagnant source of reactive moieties during the formation of at least one layer, or a portion of at least one layer, of the multilayered coating, and wherein the stagnant source of reactive moieties is charged to a process chamber, without further addition during formation of the at least one layer or the portion of at least one layer, wherein said oxide-based layer is comprised of an oxide selected from the group consisting of silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, titanium oxide, nickel oxide, tin oxide, and combinations thereof.
