  • Sputtering Targets for Photovoltaic Applications

    views, Updated: 2021-09-22

    Besides promoting widespread use of its turn-key or “ready-to-go” thin-film solar cell manufacturing equipment, AEM Deposition also provides sputtering targets made from materials ideal for passivation, buffer, and electrode layers in amorphous silicon solar cells and compound semiconductor (CIGS) solar cells. AEM Deposition responds to the needs for transparent, electrically conductive films widely used in solar cells and FPD and touch panels. For example, it provides GZO and AZO thin-films using zinc that is a plentiful resource compared to ITO by utilizing an all-inclusive integrated system ranging from R&D to production engineering and global supply.

    Features

    - Ultrasonic defect testers ensure meticulous quality assurance!
    - AEM Deposition has installed large ultrasonic test equipment to make meticulous defect inspections of materials and bonding inspections. Using this equipment has helped AEM Deposition drastically cut down on arcing during sputtering and deliver high-quality targets.
    - High-reliability metal bonding technology
    - Large sputtering targets are very heavy, so the technology for bonding to a cooling plate (backing plate) is extremely important. AEM Deposition has installed bonding equipment to support the larger glass substrate's deposition and realized an all-inclusive target supply system.
    - Low-particle targets
    - Attaining high uniformity by adjusting the metal microstructure
