VITRUM IIInline Wet Process Equipment, Etching,Cleaning & Single Side Coating在线湿法设备，用于蚀刻，清洗与单面镀膜

As part of the product family VITRUM the new processing machine, VITRUM II Cover, is dedicated to cleaning wrap around coatings at rear sides and edges of thin-film solar cells in a single working step. While the edges and the rear side are cleaned with brushes and chemicals the active layer is protected by means of a process hood. Therefore, the VITRUM II Cover is best suited for cleaning after dipping processes as well as the etching of undesirable coatings on rear side and edges, for example CdTe or CdS.

The modular design of the VITRUM II allows the easy integration of different process steps according to the requirements of CIS, a-Si or CdTe technology (etching, rear side and substrate edge etching, cleaning and single side coating).

VITRUM II Cover是VITRUM 系列产品中的新工艺设

备，专门用于以单一工序来清洁薄膜太阳能电池的

后侧和边缘部位包裹的涂层。在用刷子和化学品清

洁边缘和后侧的同时，活性层得到了工艺罩的保

护。因此VITRUM II 罩最适用于槽式镀膜工艺过程

之后的清洁，以及对后侧和边缘不需要的覆膜进行

蚀刻，如CdTe 或 CdS。

VITRUM II 的模块化设计便于根据CIS、 a-Si 或CdTe 技术（蚀刻、后侧和衬底边缘蚀刻、清洗以

及单侧覆膜）整合不同工序。

The VITRUM II provides the platform for wet- chemical inline process steps: In a CdTe manufacturing line it performs several process steps, starting with glass washing, removal of rear side coating, CdCl2 deposition using a roller, CdCl2 salt removal as well as chemical NP etch.

When producing a thin-film silicon or CIS/CIGS cell, VITRUM is capable of glass washing as well as TCO etching, KCN etching or NH3 treatment respectively. In addition, it also provides NP, DAE and EDTA etching for substrate sizes up to 2,200 mm. With our newly developed and unique soft shower process, a homogeneous, reliable, and reproducible etching is now reality. Furthermore, it features several advantages compared with inline dipping baths such as reduced process volume, saving energy, and chemicals as well as a higher process speed of up to 5 m/min with minimized carryover.

The design of the VITRUM II features similar piping for all liquid circuits and generously dimensioned installation compartments for optimized maintenance work. lt offers a high cycle rate and due to the modular concept it is easy to integrate into existing production lines. With the new VITRUM II process cost can be reduced substantially.

TENUIS IIProcess System for the Application of Buffer Layer应用缓冲层的工艺系统

SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES presents a new development on the way to the efficient wet- chemical coating of thin-film solar modules made of copper-indium-gallium-diselenide (CIGS) on glass: the second generation of the TENUIS production line has a modular cluster build basis and enables both significant savings in terms of required floor space and the simultaneous one-side coating of two substrates.

The TENUIS II also provides advantages upon commissioning and in the ramp-up stage. Because of the new cluster design, the commissioning can commence modularly after a short installation time and the first substrates can be coated. The following cluster can be assembled simultaneously or consecutively. Correspondingly, the TENUIS II meets the ever increasing demands of the market with respect to the reduction of the commissioning and ramp-up times.

SINGULUS offers wet processing systems from R&D over pilot use to full production range 60, 120, 180 and more MW. Due to new and unique concepts in terms of dosing and temperature control, the developers at SINGULUS were successful in reducing the process time by up to 20 %, which has a positive effect and a considerably higher output in production.

The new TENUIS generation offers substantial cost advantages in the production of high performance CIS/CIGS thin-film solar cells. Furthermore, the costs are significantly reduced by temperature profiles adjusted to the process and by very efficient use of process chemicals, so that the new system consistently exploits the savings potential in the manufacturing of thin-film solar cells.

Compared with its predecessor, the TENUIS IIversion not only reduces the production time but also the required floor space by 30 % and saves footprint and maintenance costs accordingly. Due to the space-saving design, the new system is easily integrated into existing production lines. For a higher throughput, several production machines can be combined to a large production complex.
