For the first time in Europe, AGC is Bekaert Advanced Coatings will introduce
presenting its full range of glass, electronic its rotating cylindrical magnetron con-
and chemical products for solar efficiency, cept. The company will also demonstrate
including AGC’s most advanced online its complete range of solutions for the
TCO (transparent conductive oxide) range, PV market. Included in its portfolio are
available for generation 8.5. TCO HU will Bekaert’s sputter hardware innovations—
be shown in a sneak preview, as it is still Compact End Block and Bekaert Axial
under development. It features a unique Magnetron—plus the company’s sputter

BTU International’s TRITAN™ metallization furnace is designed for faster process
speeds, with innovative heating and gas delivery technology. The firing furnace fea-
tures a multi-belt/dual speed conveyor, dual lane capability, wavelength optimization
technology and full chamber access.
“When we designed the TRITAN™ furnace we solicited direct input from our
customers and key industry experts,” said Jim Griffin, vice president of sales and
service. “As a result, we’ve achieved a platform that is generating a lot of excitement
and interest.”
