Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a rare-earth oxide coating on a surface of an article with one or more interruption layers to control crystal growth and methods of its formation. The coating may be deposited by atomic layer deposition and/or by chemical vapor deposition. The rare-earth oxides in the coatings disclosed herein may have an atomic crystalline phase that is different from the atomic crystalline phase or the amorphous phase of the one or more interruption layers.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 14 , wherein the crystalline or amorphous metal oxide layer comprises a multi-elemental oxide or a mixture of a first metal oxide and a second metal oxide, and wherein depositing the crystalline or amorphous metal oxide layer comprises performing a super deposition cycle comprising:\n a first deposition cycle comprising:\n injecting a first metal-containing precursor into a deposition chamber containing the article coated with the crystalline rare-earth oxide layer to cause the first metal-containing precursor to adsorb onto the crystalline rare-earth oxide layer to form a first half reaction; \n injecting an oxygen-containing reactant into the deposition chamber to form a second half reaction; \n repeating the first deposition cycle one or more times until a first target thickness is achieved and a first layer is formed; and \n a second deposition cycle comprising:\n injecting a second metal-containing precursor into a deposition chamber containing an article coated with the first layer to cause the second metal-containing precursor to adsorb onto the first layer to form a third half reaction; \n injecting an oxygen-containing reactant into the deposition chamber to form a fourth half reaction; \n repeating the second deposition cycle one or more times until a second target thickness is achieved and a second layer is formed; and \n repeating the super deposition cycle one or more times until a final target thickness if achieved.
