Abstract

This paper discusses the possibility of depositing layers whose thickness varies over the surface of an item on rotating substrates, using electron-beam evaporation of dielectrics. The layers are deposited through a circular stop that is displaced relative to the center of rotation. The agreement of the experimental results and the calculations is satisfactory to within the accuracy of the measurements.
