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 20):
A method comprising:\n depositing a rare earth metal containing fluoride coating on a surface of an article using atomic layer deposition, wherein depositing the rare earth metal containing fluoride coating comprises: contacting the surface with a first precursor for a first duration to form a first metal adsorption layer;\n contacting the first metal adsorption layer with a fluorine containing reactant to form a first metal fluoride layer, \n contacting the first metal layer with a second precursor for a second duration to form a second metal adsorption layer; \n contacting the second metal adsorption layer with the fluorine containing reactant or an alternative fluorine containing reactant to form a second metal fluoride layer, \n forming the rare earth metal containing fluoride coating from the first metal fluoride layer and the second metal fluoride layer, \n wherein the rare earth metal containing fluoride coating comprises about 1 mol % to about 40 mol % of a first metal and about 1 mol % to about 40 mol % of a second metal, wherein the first metal and the second metal are independently selected from a group consisting of a rare earth metal, hafnium and tantalum, wherein the first metal is different from the second metal.
