New Precision Coating Deposition Method for Photovoltaic Manufacturing

Significant improvements in coating deposition control can be achieved with advanced ultrasonic coating technology that provides precise control of the film thickness.

Considerable effort is ongoing to improve the efficiency and to move towards high-volume manufacturing of photovoltaic cells. Much attention has been focused on developing in-line processes to replace the current batch processes. A critical process to improve the performance of solar wafers is the application of Dopants. The basic requirement for this process is an automated method for applying a very thin, uniform film of Dopant to the silicon wafer as part of an in-line manufacturing process.
