Cell Manufacturing Systems

Increasing cell efficiency is a key lever in reducing the cost per watt of solar electricity. As conventional cells approach their maximum possible efficiency, cell manufacturers must adopt new, advanced cell structures that promise significant efficiency gains.

Manufacturing advanced cell structures demands multiple additional processing steps and new technologies, which in turn demand robust, flexible manufacturing platforms and a deep understanding of the interactions between processes across the entire manufacturing flow. Applied Materials provides its customers with integrated solutions that combine extendable equipment platforms with process optimization knowledge in order to accelerate industry efficiency and cost roadmaps.

Screen Printing Systems
Screen printing is the manufacturing method of choice for fabricating solar cell contact structures and has proven to be highly productive, cost effective and extendable. Applied’s Baccini screen printing-based cell manufacturing platforms are the cornerstone of almost every solar factory today, renowned for their ability to process large volumes of thin wafers at high yield.
