Abstract:
A compositionally-graded thin film is formed on a substrate by atomic layer deposition. A mixing system provides a homogeneous gaseous mixture having a controllable ratio of first and second reactive gaseous species. The first and second reactive gaseous species each react with a third reactive gaseous species but do not react with each other. A deposition unit includes first and second reactive gas zones. The homogeneous gaseous mixture is provided to the first reactive gas zone, and the third reactive gaseous species is provided to the second reactive gas zone. The mixing system is controlled to change the ratio of the first and second reactive gaseous species as a function of time as the substrate is moved relative to the deposition unit such that the deposited material has a variable composition as a function of height above the substrate.

Claim (Index 11):
The process of  claim 1 , wherein the mixing system mixes the first and second reactive gaseous species by merging a gas flow of the first reactive gaseous species in a first conduit and a gas flow of the second reactive gaseous species in a second conduit to form a combined gas flow in a third conduit.
