Acid Texturing \| top Chemical surface roughening of the solar cell to increase sunlight absorption and hence cell efficiency. In Tex: Inline texture equipment Process steps: Texturing, Alkaline & Acidic clean, Final rinse, Dryer.	Phosphorus Doping – Diffusion Furnace \| top In-Line Diffusion System: Wafers in, cells out Integrated, In-line Diffusion System - DCF Series The DCF Series In-line Diffusion Systems combine an in-line doping module, an infrared diffusion furnace and a process technology license. DCF Series Infrared Systems are designed to create highly homogeneous, shallow emitters that are critical to manufacturing high efficiency solar cells. The drive toward thinner wafers and higher yield make these systems ideal for maximizing your future investments.


Inline Edge Isolation and Oxide Etch \| top InOxSide: Inline edge isolation & oxide etch equipment with 5 transport lanes.	Metalization (Screen Printing) \| top Very fast and highly accurate screen printer for printing solar cells. The machine is equipped with a patented optical edge recognition system using 3 CCD cameras built into the print table. The cameras detect the edge of the substrate from below and the machine automatically aligns the screen with the substrate. Designed for different cell formats without the need of readjustments. Loading / Unloading via standard conveyor belts. Optical cell detection on every position. Very smooth movement. Metalization Sigle Track Line \| View Image

Firing Furnace \| top Firing and Drying / Firing Infrared Furnace Series- and CDF CF and CDF Series infrared furnaces are designed very rapid ramp rates, maximum production up- high throughput and high ields—while ensuring product quality and process repeat ability.	Testing and Sorting \| top Cell Tester standard module, Flash Unit and Electrical Tester, Pulsed Solar Simulator. Cell Sorter Base Module (16 categories). Automatic handling for the categorized solar cells. Automation \| top Loading & Unloading Conveyor Systems Turn & Flip Systems Buffer Systems
