METHOD OF APPLYING DOPED ZINC OXIDE COATINGS, HAVING LOW RESISTIVITY AND ARTICLES MADE USING SAID METHOD Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC C03C17/245 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of applying doped zinc oxide coatings having low resistivity. A hot glass base is prepared, having a surface on which the coating is applied, wherein the surface is at temperature of at least 400°C. The glass base is at atmospheric pressure. A gaseous mixture of the initial substances is formed a mixing chamber, said mixture containing a zinc-containing compound, water and a compound containing aluminium or gallium. Said gaseous mixture is fed onto the hot surface of the glass base as the surface moves past the mixing chamber, where a zinc oxide coating containing aluminium or gallium dopants is formed at a deposition rate of more than 5 nm/s. Besides aluminium and gallium, boron, indium and thallium can also be used as dopants.

EFFECT: applying a zinc oxide film doped with gallium or aluminium via vapour-phase chemical deposition at atmospheric pressure when making float glass using cheap starting materials and ensuring low resistivity of the coating.
