Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for thermal treatment of coatings on substrates includes a microwave applicator cavity; a microwave power supply to deliver power to the cavity; a thermally insulated microwave-transparent compartment within the cavity, large enough to contain the coated substrate while occupying no more than 50% of the total volume of the cavity; a means of supporting the coated substrate within the compartment; an adjustable IR heating source in the compartment and facing the substrate so that a selected amount of IR heating may be applied to the substrate; and, a non-contacting temperature measurement device to measure the temperature of the coating. Related methods for using the apparatus to process different kinds of films are also disclosed.
