Abstract:
1. A method of forming an electrically conductive heated dielectric panel, comprising: providing a dielectric panel having at least one major surface; disposing a doped metal oxide coating on the major surface of the dielectric panel; masking an area of the doped metal oxide coating with a circularly rotating mask or an inline mask while leaving an unmasked area of a predetermined shape and size; heating the unmasked area on the doped metal oxide coating with a reducing flame; feeding and melting copper metal by way of an oxyacetylene or a plasma device; impinging molten particles of the copper metal at high velocity from the oxyacetylene or plasma device onto the heated unmasked area of the doped metal oxide coating, thus depositing, shaping, and sizing a copper metal bus bar on the doped metal oxide coating; and disposing a metal tab onto the copper metal bus bar, thus forming the electrically conductive heated dielectric panel.
