In China Varian Launches and Initiates Solion PV Ion Implant Technology Platform

Varian believed it has joined with numerous leading Chinese PV makers to include Solion patterned ion implantation into volume production by mid-year. Varian has recognized commitments with over seven Chinese PV manufacturers who see Solion's potential for speed up their drive to grid equivalence by carrying out the accuracy and control needed for high-efficiency cells while simplifying the manufacturing development to decrease the in general charge per watt.

Solion facilitates and enables solar module manufacturers to get an amalgamation of enlarged cell efficiency at lower production prices by substituting conventional diffusion doping processes with ion implant. Besides that, to greater precision and process control for improved junction features, this advancement removes manifold manufacturing pace, improves cell equality, and enables extensively tighter binning.

Primary Solion users have before now accepted the enabling patterned implant technology to make crystalline solar cells in volume with conversion efficiencies over 19 percent. Patterned implantation deals with an apparent roadmap to efficiencies of 22 percent at cheap charges per watt.

The strong market significance in Solion from so many Chinese PV manufacturers additional validates the cost of implant for manufacturing high efficiency, low-cost solar cells, believed Varian's Chief Executive Officer Gary Dickerson. We are precise enthusiastic to be joined with some of the market leaders in the fast-rising region for the production of solar cells. The combination of local manufacturing know-how with Varian's technology leadership and outstanding support will enable the PV industry to acquire a massive step forward towards getting grid parity.

Solion explains on Varian's 35-year the past direction in ion implant for the semiconductor industry, in addition to the industry standard Varian VIISta product line, which has more than 1,200 units in the field. On the other hand, Solion is a completely advanced platform that reproduces the necessities and priority of PV module manufacturers, along with the fresh ability to perform patterning and doping in a single step using proprietary Precision Patterned Implant technology.

Solion clients also gain from Varian's exceedingly considered universal service organization, having succeeded and won the coveted VLSI Research Award for 13 of the last 14 years. Which is a great achievement for the company?
