Companies Facts


had to be manually separated with big effort, the TRR200/300 enables auremoval with a throughput of 80 wafers per hour,” stated Walter Schober, CEO of mechatronic systemtechnik gmbh. The handling system features a dual cassette platform with an au- tomatic cassette detection device and a mapper for detection of quantity, position and possible misalign- ment of a wafer frame in the cassette. Additionally, the TRR200/300 is fitted with a contact-free opto- electronical eccentricity detector for wafer frames and an OCR unit for bar codes. The new system fulfils guidelines for usage in clean room class 100 according to Federal Standard 209E and is compliant with CE specifications. http://www.mechatronic.at


M


erck KGaA, Germany, (MRK) will be presenting the latest material developments for the


photovoltaic industry at the Intersolar Exhibition and Conference in Munich, Germany, from June 8-10, 2011 and in San Francisco, USA, from July 12-14, 2011.


At two important solar trade fairs Merck will show- case the latest developments to its isishape® line. Under the brand name isishape®


, Merck has


developed printable etching pastes capable of se- lectively etching antireflective coatings (e.g. SiNx


passivation layers (e.g. SiO2 or AlOx ) on solar cells


as well as on transparent conductive materials (e.g. ITO).


Schiller Automation and Merck have jointly develo- ped new equipment for edge isolation of crystalline silicon wafers that uses isishape®


SolarEtch® and is designed to cut production costs per watt solar cell • livilux® : efficient charge transport materials for


organic solar cells. http://www.merck4photovoltaics.com


• lisicon® ) and : printable organic semiconductors for highly efficient organic solar cells; product


dramatically. Having enabled the first mass produc- tion of highly efficient selective emitter cells in 2009, Merck isishape®


materials are continuously used for


this application by various leading solar cell manuf- acturers. Also, innovative isishape®


technology is


showing tremendous potential for developing highly productive new concepts for silicon cells such as MWT (Metal Wrap Through) and LBSF (Local Back Surface Field).


Merck’s isishape® SolarResist™ is the first ink-jet


compatible solution for direct printing of a silicon dioxide diffusion barrier. The unique concept behind isishape®


offers environmentally friendly and highly


efficient materials for smart and simple structuring in the photovoltaic industry.


In addition, Merck offers the following products for a wide variety of solar cells under the Working with Sunshine™ heading:


• Solarpur® : antireflective coatings for solar modules


as well as electrolytes and electrolyte components including ionic liquids which, through their versatile electrochemical properties, extend the lifetime of dye sensitized solar cells;
