| Ferro launches new aluminium product Ferro Electronic Material Systems developed new materials for solar cell industry. A compatible lead- and cadmium-free system of novel aluminum, rear silver, and front silver metallizations offers improved electrical performance on silicon wafers that are less than 180 microns thick. The current generation 'thin' wafers are 240 micron thick. Ferro's new aluminum product permits further silicon reductions to less than 180 microns thick, with less than 1 mm of camber on 150 mm square wafers. It provides the same Back Surface Field, BSF, thickness at a higher concentration of dopant for a strong BSF, carrier concentration of more than 1019 atoms/cm3, with equivalent or better electrical performance on multi-crystalline wafers. Ferro's new lead free front and rear silver metallizations provide improved electrical performance and are able to contact emitters with sheet resistivity of 50 to 70 ohms/square. The products also offer improved solderability, and adhesion of more than 800 gms using a 4 mil tabing ribbon. Front silver products are also available in a Hot Melt option for peak performance and line resolution. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
