OpTek is a leading provider of laser based production solutions and offers a detailed understanding of the process requirements for a wide range of PV cell manufacturing steps. Resources include access to all major laser sources in both well established and the latest technologies, along with expert knowledge in the application of these tools in Si wafer-based cells, thin film on glass and flexible metal foils and polymer films.
ScribingThe dominant application for lasers in PV cell manufacture, scribing is applied to Si wafer and thin film formats for patterning layers of metal, insulating oxides, TCO, semiconductors and polymers.
Cutting & Drillingpartial and full thickness processing of substrates is applied for a number of requirements such as via holes for EWT and interconnects, wafer or substrate re-sizing and for trimming encapsulants.
MicromachiningLaser processing can be applied to a wide range of requirements. These include marking for product identity, welding of hermetic seals, local treatment on contact areas and contact attachment.
