Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THERMAL TREATMENT OF COATED SUBSTRATES, IN PARTICULAR THIN-FILM SOLAR SUBSTRATES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/115444
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for thermal treatment of a flat substrate with a first side that is to be coated or is already coated and a second side opposite said first side, by generating a homogeneous temperature distribution on the first side and heating the substrate from the second side by means of a heating system. The method comprises the following steps: Measuring a height profile of the substrate and a temperature profile of the substrate and minimizing a measured deviation of the height profile from the plane by controlling the heating system to modify the temperature profile of the substrate by way of a control algorithm and depending on properties of the substrate and the measured height and temperature profiles.
