VERFAHREN UND VORRICHTUNG ZUR BESCHICHTUNG VON SUBSTRATEN

The device for simultaneous multi-sided coating of a substrate, especially a lens, by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition has a reaction chamber with microwave windows and microwave guides with microwave launch sites for guiding microwaves into the reaction chamber through the windows; dielectric tuning elements at the microwave launch sites to influence the microwave field distribution and at least one substrate holder arranged so that surfaces to be coated are oriented perpendicularly to plasma propagation directions. The respective shapes of the dielectric tuning elements are adapted to corresponding shapes of the surfaces, so that inhomogeneities in plasma distributions in the plasmas formed in the reaction chamber are corrected and coatings formed on the surfaces have a uniform thickness. Coated surfaces on opposite sides of a lens have a uniformity of ±1%.
