Sumario:In this work, we present the design, fabrication, and automation of a customized and affordable system capable of performing the thin film deposition techniques of Dip-Coating and SILAR at room temperature. To automate the system, parts from disused equipment were reused, new pieces were fabricated through additive manufacturing, and open-source software was also utilized. The device was controlled using an Arduino UNO R3. Additionally, a graphical interface was developed in Python with the PyQt library to adjust the motion settings and transmit parameters to the Arduino via serial communication. We validated the system by fabricating layers of Cu2 O and CuO, subsequently comparing their structural and morphological properties with findings previously reported in the literature.
En este trabajo presentamos el diseño, fabricación y automatización de un sistema personalizado y asequible, capaz de realizar las teÍcnicas de deposicioÍn de capas delgadas Dip-Coating y SILAR a temperatura ambiente. Para la automatizacioÍn, se reutilizaron partes de equipos en deshuso, se fabricaron nuevas piezas mediante manufactura aditiva y, ademaÍs, se empleoÍ software de coÍdigo abierto. El dispositivo se controloÍ mediante un Arduino UNO R3. AdemaÍs, se desarrolloÍ una interfaz graÍfica en Python con la biblioteca PyQt para ajustar la configuracioÍn del movimiento y transmitir parámetros al Arduino vía comunicacion serial. Validamos el sistema mediante la fabricacioÍn de capas de Cu2O y CuO, comparando posteriormente sus propiedades estructurales y morfoloÍgicas con los resultados reportados en la literatura.
