PVAdvantage

FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE DEPOSITION OF PV MATERIALS

  • Deposition of Organic or Inorganic solution based photovoltaic materials.
  • Available for material deposition on a variety oflexible or rigid panel sizes.
  • Proprietary extrusion type deposition technology ensures better than 95% material use.
  • Extremely accurate material dispense rates and volume control.
  • Deposition thicknesses range from 20 nanometers to 150 microns.
  • Low Fill Volume option ensures maximum utilization ohigh cost PV materials.

FEATURES

  • Granite transport base with air bearing and linear motors for smooth operation, accurate deposition and high MTBF.
  • User friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) with Touch Screen. Process is completely automated and all parameters are computer controlled.
  • Each system is supplied by separate fluid cart housing solvent vessels and pumps, as well as production quantities of deposition materials.
  • System performance and reliability tested and proven in a production environment.

PROCESS ADVANTAGES

  • Extrusion type deposition technology maximizes deposition of material utilization without the waste associated with alternative methods.
  • Efficient use of materials minimizes environmental impact and disposal costs.
  • Fully automatic extrusion head priming and lip functions, performed between material deposition runs, ensure repeatable material deposition performance.
  • Process is suitable for development applications and scalable to full production. Process is also fully transferable to a roll-to-roll configuration.

OPTIONS

  • Full atmospheric isolation to allow processing in low oxygen/low moisture or inert environment.
  • Vacuum chucks are available for a wide variety of substrates, including display glass, flexible
    plastic film and stainless steel.
  • Material heating options available.
  • Robotic load/unload of substrates and full automation options are available.
  • Additional process equipment available with full integration (hot plates, chill plates, cure,
    inspection, etc.).
