LayTec is providing the first commercial in-line monitoring systems for thin film photovoltaic (PV) applications. A provider of in-situ monitoring equipment to the compound semiconductor industry, LayTec has announced the company’s brand-new product line SolR, which can monitor the film thickness of all layers throughout the thin-film PV process.
The SolR monitors the transparent conduction oxide (TCO), absorber, and buffer layers of a thin-film PV to obtain an accurate film thickness measurement.
Currently, measurements in thin film PV processes are mainly performed off-line and not on each batch. The SolR will help PV producers control their production on-line and enhance their yield by accelerating development cycles.
SolR is designed to be compatible with typical state of the art in-line and roll-to-roll processes and to work on all different kinds of substrates and current PV cell designs.
