exceptionally broad range of testing capabilities by adding new software-driven features to existing tool platforms. Instead of bearing the expense of buying multiple tools, dealing with data compatibility issues etc., customers now can have multiple functions seamlessly combined in one affordable machine.”
Commercial release of the patterned wafer inspection software for new and existing nSPEC systems is expected in Q1 2013. It is currently available for evaluation as a beta version.
InnoLas installs laser scribers at 100 MW Korean CIGS plant
The current installations are a further step in the successful roll-out of the firm’s laser scriber systems for CIGS thin film solar cells and other semiconductors such as cadmium telluride
German company InnoLas Systems recently installed its pioneering P1, P2 and P3 laser scribers at a 100 MW CIGS fab in Korea.
cells, the InnoLas laser systems have become must-have production tools. Up to September this year we have already developed, built and installed P1, P2 and P3 scribing systems for a fab capacity of 300 MW.”
InnoLas also offers advanced laser systems for R&D applications.
The company has received an order for a multi- functional laser tool, tailor-made for the rigorous requirements in modern photovoltaic development labs. This system can process any individual pattern either from the film side or from the glass side with multiple wavelengths.
All layers (P1, P2 and P3) can be laser scribed, and the processing side and process parameters are selected through simple menu commands. Mechanical scribing (P2, P3) is available on the same system. Highlights include integrated In-situ metrology, giving 100 percent control over scribe performance and enabling the user to optimise process parameters on the fly.
Two members jump off Board at 5N Plus
The producer of specialty metal and chemical products used in MOCVD growth is seeking new members
5N Plus, has announced the resignation of Laurent Raskin and Frank Fache from its Board of Directors.
Impala laser processing system for thin-film solar modules
This innovative laser technology for P2 scribing of thin film solar cells is suited for use on the structures of CIGS semiconductors and has so far been delivered to four different customers. These laser patterning tools support 250 MW production volume globally.
InnoLas CEO Richard Grundmüller says, “The current installations are a further step in the successful roll-out of our laser scriber systems for thin film solar cells. Not only for the processing of CIGS but also for other semiconductors, e.g. CdTe
As the Company had already initiated a process of adding members to its Board of Directors, it has already identified and is currently meeting with high profile potential candidates to join its Board of Directors in the near future.
“We seek to add new Board members whom will bring a wealth of technical expertise and business experience both domestically and internationally. We would like to thank Messrs. Raskin and Fache for their contribution to our company and wish them the best in their future endeavours”, says Jacques L’Ecuyer, President and Chief Executive Officer of 5N Plus.
