Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to articles, coated articles and methods of coating such articles with a rare earth metal containing fluoride coating. The coating can contain at least a first metal (e.g., a rare earth metal, tantalum, zirconium, etc.) and a second metal that have been co-deposited onto a surface of the article. The coating can include a homogenous mixture of the first metal and the second metal and does not contain mechanical segregation between layers in the coating.

Claim (Index 9):
A method comprising:\n co-depositing a rare earth metal containing fluoride coating on a surface of an article using atomic layer deposition, wherein co-depositing the rare earth metal containing fluoride coating comprises:\n contacting the surface with a first metal containing precursor or a second metal containing precursor for a first duration to form a partial metal adsorption layer comprising a first metal (M1) or a second metal (M2), wherein the first metal containing precursor or the second metal containing precursor is selected from a group consisting of a rare earth metal containing precursor, a zirconium containing precursor, a hafnium containing precursor, an aluminum containing precursor and a tantalum containing precursor; \n contacting the partial metal adsorption layer with the second metal containing precursor or the first metal containing precursor for a second duration to form a co-adsorption layer comprising the first metal (M1) and the second metal (M2), wherein the first metal is different from the second metal; and \n contacting the co-adsorption layer with a reactant to form the rare earth metal containing fluoride coating, \n wherein the rare earth metal containing fluoride coating comprises about 1 mol % to about 40 mol % of the first metal and about 1 mol % to about 40 mol % of the second metal, and wherein the rare earth metal containing fluoride coating comprises a homogenous mixture of the first metal and the second metal.
