Abstract

In thin film technology the Spray Pyrolysis Thin film Deposition (SPTD) method of thin film preparation being considered in research to prepare thin and thick films, ceramic coatings, and powders [1] for many decades. It’s a versatile and effective technique to deposit metal oxide films and even multilayered films. Thin films are used in different applications like Solar cells, optoelectronics, sensors etc. It is a very simple and relatively cost-effective processing method (especially with regard to equipment costs). In this paper the importance of intermittent spray and its economic automation using microcontroller are discussed in detail. This in turn helps to prepare good thin film materials for various applications.

Keywords
