Method for forming a coating

Abstract

A chemical vapor deposition process is provided for forming a nickel oxide-based layer on a glass substrate. A gaseous mixture is formed, which comprises a nickel-containing compound selected from the group consisting of nickel(II) acetylacetonate and its derivatives, and an oxygen-containing precursor selected from the group consisting of carbonyl compounds and molecular oxygen. The gaseous mixture is directed towards and along the glass substrate and reacts on the glass substrate to form a nickel oxide coating thereon.
