IKTS to Adopt Optomet System for New Tec. Development

Published 08 September 2009

Optomec announced that IKTS has selected the Aerosol Jet Solar Lab system to be part of their Energy Systems Department. The Aerosol Jet system, which will be installed at the IKTS facility in Dresden, Germany, will be primarily used to develop front side collector line printing solutions to increase solar cell efficiencies. IKTS conducts development work within the framework of R&D projects with its industrial customers spanning the entire value chain, extending through to prototype production.

Professor and Fraunhofer IKTS Director, Dr. Alexander Michaelis, explains ��Photovoltaics is one of the hottest R&D fields in our institute. We specialize in materials and tool development for PV back end-of-line processes and collaborate with leading PV companies. For example, with Roth & Rau AG, a world leading PV equipment supplier, we operate a real 10 MW R&D production line. We are convinced that Aerosol Jet printing is one of the most promising technologies for future PV wafer processing and we are happy to work with Optomec on this issue.��
