Roll-to-roll (R2R) coating processes of flexible substrates are established for cost-efficient thin film functional materials production for applications like energy efficient windows and solar cells. However, even small variations of thickness and/or composition homogeneity may affect the final product performance. Due to the high throughput of coated surface area in R2R coating the ex-situ material characterization is very time consuming, often destructive and offers no possibility for in-situ process monitoring and/or quality control.
The NanoQI EU-H2020 project develops a powerful in-line technology combining hyperspectral imaging with X-ray reflectivity via a machine learning algorithms, enabling large area (0.5m x 100m) high resolution (<1mm) high speed (m/min) thin film properties imaging. The combinatorial thickness mapping of a binary metal-oxide double layer (thickness up to 120nm) on PET substrate will be discussed in detail - aiming to achieve a thickness accuracy of only a few %.
