Abstract

A process for coating substrates which has microcavities comprises coating the substrate surface under a vacuum with a predetermined substance to form a layer of the substance deposited on the surface and in the cavity. Directing subsequent layers onto the substrate with an ion bombardment so as to cause the molecular beams of the coating substance to strike the cavities at divergence angles of not greater than 10.degree..
