DEFINITION

Classification: 505/480

Utilizing electromagnetic wave energy, ion, or plasma:

(under subclass 300) Process wherein electromagnetic energy, ion, or a gaseous vapor of ions in equilibrium or a vapor of ions in vacuum in nonequilibrium state referred to as a "cold plasma" is utilized for any purpose not provided hereinabove.

(1) Note. Complete oxidation of a material forming a new composition is not considered a coating process. If oxidation occurs simultaneously with deposition of a material upon a substrate, this is viewed as a coating operation.
