Siansonic Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis Thin-Film Deposition System
Deposition of uniform metal-oxide, conductive and functional thin films on heated substrates by ultrasonic atomisation of precursor solutions.
In short
Deposition of uniform metal-oxide, conductive and functional thin films on heated substrates by ultrasonic atomisation of precursor solutions. The Siansonic ultrasonic spray pyrolysis system breaks a precursor solution into fine droplets with a narrow size distribution using an ultrasonic nozzle and carries the aerosol onto a heated substrate, where solvent evaporation and thermal decomposition form a continuous film.

Overview
The Siansonic ultrasonic spray pyrolysis system breaks a precursor solution into fine droplets with a narrow size distribution using an ultrasonic nozzle and carries the aerosol onto a heated substrate, where solvent evaporation and thermal decomposition form a continuous film. A programmable XY motion stage, syringe-pump-controlled feed rate and adjustable substrate temperature give repeatable control over film thickness and uniformity. The system is used to deposit metal oxides, transparent conductive oxides, catalytic and sensing layers on glass, silicon, FTO/ITO-coated glass, metal foil and ceramic substrates. As a vacuum-free, low-cost route that scales to large areas, it supports R&D in photovoltaics, gas sensors, energy storage and protective coatings, and provides coated specimens for subsequent XRD, SEM and electrical characterisation.
