METHOD FOR APPLYING ELECTRICAL BUS BARS TO A SUBSTRATE

摘要

2084068 9118757 PCTABS00008 The present invention is an improved method of applying electrically conductive bus bars (24) to transparent or non-transparent substrates (22) such as glass, plastic and ceramics such as for an electrochromic device, an automobile window or architectural window and many other substrates which could benefit from being heated. The present invention discloses a method for applying the bus bars with a vapor deposition process using a suitable metal composition resulting in durable bus bars. The vapor deposition process disclosed can be used with numerous metal compositions resulting in bus bars of a relatively thin cross-section without the need for high temperature firing or baking.
