See DEK in Hall C2, Stand D-37
DEK is showing it’s next generation solar metallization line at the 2009 Photon technology Exhibition in Munich on the 4-6 March. The screen printing specialist is highlighting a wide range of innovative solar technologies, in addition to running its state-of-the-art metallization line live in Hall C2, Stand D-37.
Signalling a new era of responsive and flexible metallization solutions available at a fast turnaround, DEK’s PV1200 solar metallization line is based around the PVP1200 screen printing platform. Built using the precision expertise that has driven the company’s established screen printing platforms proven in surface mount assembly and semiconductor packaging, the PVP1200 achieves six-sigma process capability at a resolution of ±12.5 micron for maximum repeatability and advanced levels of accuracy. The platform also benefits from DEK’s precision emulsion screen expertise, manufactured in-house under class 10,000 cleanroom conditions.
Special features include dedicated handling for thin wafers, ensuring low breakage rates for maximum yield, in addition to high-speed machine vision capabilities ensuring perfect alignment from the first wafer. On display from Stand D37 in Hall C2 the PVP1200 will be featured alongside the PV1200 Coinstack Unloader and Re-Loader, demonstrating how DEK’s solar expertise substantially extends the viability of commercial solar cell manufacture.
“The PV1200 line offers PV cell producers a valuable turnkey solution, which we are able to deliver and install within a short timeframe,” explains Darren Brown, Alternative Energies Business Manager for DEK. “Showcasing select solar technologies live on our metallization line, visitors to the Photon show will see how easily new entrants to the solar cell market will benefit from our expertise by being able to get productive quickly with minimal training. Companies already active in this sector will appreciate enhanced support, low cost of ownership and short delivery times for the PV1200 line and supporting technologies including emulsion screens, to respond rapidly to developments in the market. ”
