Abstract:
A method and apparatus for subjecting a surface of a substrate to successive surface reactions of precursors according to the principles of atomic layer deposition. The method including subjecting the surface of the substrate to the first precursor in a first precursor zone and subjecting the surface of the substrate to the second precursor in a second precursor zone. The method further includes changing the first precursor in the first precursor zone to a subsequent precursor which is different than the first and second precursors and subjecting the surface of the substrate to the subsequent precursor in the first precursor zone and subjecting the surface of the substrate to the second precursor in the second precursor zone.

Claim (Index 36):
The method according to  claim 35 , wherein the second changing step comprises:\n D) replacing the first subsequent precursor in the first precursor zone to the first precursor and replacing the second subsequent precursor in the second precursor zone to the second precursor.
