  • Systems and methods for thermally managing high-temperature processes on temperature sensitive substrates
    Patent number: 9634175
    Abstract: A method for depositing one or more thin-film layers on a flexible polyimide substrate having opposing front and back outer surfaces includes the following steps: (a) heating the flexible polyimide substrate such that a temperature of the front outer surface of the flexible polyimide substrate is higher than a temperature of the back outer surface of the flexible polyimide substrate, and (b) depositing the one or more thin-film layers on the front outer surface of the flexible polyimide substrate. A deposition zone for executing the method includes (a) one of more physical vapor deposition sources adapted to deposit one or more metallic materials on the front outer surface of the substrate, and (b) one or more radiant zone boundary heaters.
