Photovoltaic Standards at SEMI SHAPE THE FUTURE, TOGETHER


Momentum is building for the development and widespread adoption of standards in the solar photovoltaic manufacturing industry.


Industry Participation is Critical With a global infrastructure serving major PV manufacturing regions, PV standardization activity at SEMI is now taking center stage. Currently, over 400 technical experts from leading companies in all segments of the photovoltaic supply chain are involved in PV standards efforts at SEMI.


Current Standardization Topics • Cell and module vibration test method


• Cell appearance and defect detection • Cell specification template • Connector ribbon • Equipment to equipment communication • Impurity test methods • Minority carrier lifetime • Process chemicals and gases


• PV wafer and cell transport carriers • PV wafer mark and ID • Silicon wafer for PV solar cells • Single substrate tracking • Solar grade silicon feedstock


• Surface roughness & texture of PV Materials


• Thin film substrate dimensions • Transparent conductive oxide


• Specification for silicon wafers used as PV solar cells


• PV wafer defect metrology
