Sintering at shorter distances results in lower sheet resistance and requires a smaller number of flashes. (A) The higher light intensity at shorter distances causes a higher surface roughness, it exponentially decreases with increasing sintering distance according to the decrease of light intensity of Table 1 (Every datapoint consists out of three corresponding samples with every sample measured on two locations with the profilometer (line measurement), the error bars represent the standard deviation of each population.). (B) The layer thickness decreases linearly when increasing the sintering distance for JS-A102A at a flashing intensity of 100% and a flash and cooling time of 2 s (Each data point is representing the average of 8 to 12 measurements distributed over four to six different samples. The error bars represent the standard deviation of each population.). (C).
