Inkjet assisted metallizationДЄn emerging technology for the manufacture of photovoltaic cells is inkjet assisted metallization, which offers an alternative to conventional photolithographic thin film technology. PVD is also considered an environmentally friendly process. Thin films made with PVD have a high-temperature tolerance and resistance to separation from the substrate. PVD is used as the deposition method to produce an extremely hard, corrosion-resistant coating. Source material atoms then stick to the substrate, forming a thin coat. A solid precursor material is gasified, typically using high-power electricity or laser, and then moved into a reacting chamber where the coating substrate is located. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) uses a physical means to deposit a thin layer of material, with several steps performed under high-temperature vacuum conditions. This allows for both conformal and large-area growth, enabling the possibility of achieving, reproducibly, very high levels of purity in the materials. The nature of the chemical precursor is used to control the phase deposited and to control its structure. The deposition of the film is controlled by a chemical reaction and is more versatile than many traditional deposition methods. GIXRD experimental pattern Chemical vapor depositionД¬hemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a process in which a film is deposited from the vapor phase by the decomposition of chemicals on the surface of a substrate. For red light of wavelength 600 nm, this would give a first order diffraction maximum at about 22В°. This is in the range of ordinary laboratory diffraction gratings. The nominal track separation on a CD is 1.6 micrometers, corresponding to about 625 tracks per millimeter. The tracks of a compact disc act as a diffraction grating, producing a separation of the colors of white light. The hydrogen gas in a thin glass tube is excited by an electrical discharge and the spectrum can be viewed through the grating. The illustration shows the hydrogen spectrum. It acts as a 'super prism', separating the different colors of light much more than the dispersion effect in a prism. The diffraction grating is an immensely useful tool for the separation of the spectral lines associated with atomic transitions. However, angular separation of the maxima is generally much greater because the slit spacing is so small for a diffraction grating. The condition for maximum intensity is the same as that for a double slit. The relative widths of the interference and diffraction patterns depends upon the slit separation and the width of the individual slits, so the pattern will vary based upon those values.

The overall grating intensity is given by the product of the intensity expressions for interference and diffraction. The intensities of these peaks are affected by the diffraction envelope which is determined by the width of the single slits making up the grating. There are multiple orders of the peaks associated with the interference of light through the multiple slits. This illustration is qualitative and intended mainly to show the clear separation of the wavelengths of light. Different wavelengths are diffracted at different angles, according to the grating relationship.ДЄ diffraction grating is the tool of choice for separating the colors in incident light. Orders 1 and 2 are shown to each side of the direct beam. When light of a single wavelength, like the 632.8nm red light from a helium-neon laser at left, strikes a diffraction grating it is diffracted to each side in multiple orders. The peak intensities are also much higher for the grating than for the double slit. The condition for maximum intensity is the same as that for the double slit or multiple slits, but with a large number of slits the intensity maximum is very sharp and narrow, providing the high resolution for spectroscopic applications. A large number of parallel, closely spaced slits constitutes a diffraction grating. This 'super prism' aspect of the diffraction grating leads to application for measuring atomic spectra in both laboratory instruments and telescopes.

When there is a need to separate light of different wavelengths with high resolution, then a diffraction grating is most often the tool of choice.
