Abstract

An inline deposition control apparatus for a vacuum deposition apparatus having one or more deposition sources for depositing one or more deposition layers on a substrate, includes one or more light sources adapted to illuminate the substrate having the one or more deposition layers; a detection arrangement adapted for spectrally resolved detection of a measurement signal, wherein the measurement signal is selected from at least one of: light reflected at the substrate having the one or more deposition layers, and light transmitted through the substrate having the one or more deposition layers; an evaluation unit to determine the respective thicknesses of the one or more layers based on the measurement signal; and a controller connected to the evaluation unit and connectable to the deposition apparatus for feed-back control of the deposition of the one or more deposition layers based on the determined thicknesses. Furthermore, a method of inline deposition control is provided.

Description

technical field [0001] Several embodiments of the present disclosure relate to in-line deposition control for a vacuum deposition apparatus and apparatus for controlling in-line deposition of a vacuum deposition apparatus. In particular, several embodiments relate to controlled in-line deposition onto flexible substrates, particularly flexible substrates for optical multilayer systems. Background technique [0002] In many applications, the deposition of several thin layers on flexible substrates is necessary. Typically, flexible substrates are coated in one or more chambers of a flexible substrate coating apparatus. Additionally, a batch of flexible substrates (eg, a roll of flexible substrates) may be disposed in one chamber of the substrate coating apparatus. Typically, the flexible substrate is coated in vacuum using a vacuum deposition technique (eg, physical vapor deposition or chemical vapor deposition). [0003] Roll-to-roll coating machines generally allow high t...
