Comments:
  • The material to be deposited is dissolved in a solvent and sprayed in droplets from a nozzle onto the surface of the substrate. The surface tension of the solution makes the droplets merge on the substrate to form a thin film of material. The substrate is usually baked immediately after spray casting to remove the solvent in the film. The process is typically performed on one side of the substrate at a time.
