Abstract

A process and apparatus for producing a metal oxide layer which is selectively permeable to ions of a given class, comprises evacuating a vacuum chamber, evaporating metal particles in the chamber and imparting to the particles kinetic energy which is at 10 eV maximum, introducing oxygen into the chamber with a quantity of oxygen being controlled to deposit a metal oxide on a substrate in the chamber, while the substrate is maintained below 900.degree.
