Rotatable sputter targets for photovoltaics (PV)

Advantages

  • New in the PV industry: lower Cost of Ownership thanks to the advantages of rotatable magnetron technology (more material inventory, higher utilization grade, better cooling & higher stability)
  • High volume of locally produced one-piece targets of all sizes, all shapes and with all existing fixations
  • Wide range of materials available (Ag, Al, AZO, Cr, HD Sn, i-ZnO, ITO, Mo, Nb, NiV, High purity Si, SiAl, SnZn, Ti, Tiox, TiOxNb, ZnAl, custom made alloys, etc.)
  • Different production methods: thermal spraying and extrusion

Bekaert Advanced Coatings is a total solution provider for all PVD applications, commonly used in different production methods for solar cells in the PV industry, e.g. TCO layers (transparent conductive oxides; materials like AZO and ITO) and back contact layers (materials like Mo, Ag, Al, NiV) in thin film solar cells; passivation and anti-reflective layers in crystalline silicon solar cell wafers (c-Si cells e.g. high purity silicon).

Depending on your needs, customized solutions can be offered to reach grid parity and the required layer properties, whilst at the same time maximizing the sputter efficiency in terms of sputter target utilization and sputter yield.
