Laser technology makes solar cell production more efficient
Laser technology from LIMO Lissotschenko Mikrooptik GmbH makes it possible to produce solar cells quickly, reliably and cost-effectively. Using diode lasers to microstructure thin silicon layers saves energy, materials and costs; the laser uses up to 50 percent less energy than previous structuring methods. This laser technology not only has the potential to make the process more efficient but the end-product too.
During the production of thin film solar cells, thin layers are microstructured. The precision tool for this is a laser beam which is shaped using a microoptic – the so-called g2T converter. The beam moves over the work piece at a speed of up to ten meters per second enabling large areas to be structured precisely in a very short time.
Laser manufacturing replaces energy- and material-devouring processes in many areas. In addition to solar cells the diode lasers from Dortmund are also used to save costs and resources in the manufacture of flat panel displays or semiconductors for the electronics industry.
