A method for depositing a LiPON coating on a substrate is provided, wherein the vaporization material, which is located in a vessel and which includes at least the chemical elements lithium, phosphorus and oxygen, is vaporized within a vacuum chamber. Here the vaporization material is heated by means of a thermal vaporization apparatus, and simultaneously either a nitrogen-containing component is introduced into the vacuum chamber or a nitrogen-containing material is co-vaporized, and wherein the vapor particle mist rising from the vessel is permeated by a plasma before the deposition on the substrate. |
