Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0375402A2] A quartz lamp envelope (12) includes a press seal (22), at least one molybdenum foil feedthrough (24,30) extending through the press seal (22) to the lamp interior, and an external electrical lead (26,32) connected to the molybdenum foil. The molybdenum foil has an oxidation-inhibiting material, such as chromium, aluminium and combinations thereof, embedded in a surface layer thereof by ion implantation. The electrical lead has an oxidation-inhibiting coating, such as silicon carbide, silicon nitride and combinations thereof, formed by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Alternatively, the electrical lead can have an oxidation-inhibiting material embedded in a surface layer thereof by ion implantation.
