Description
Riber Jet 40K Selenium Cracker Coating Tool for Mass Production of Solar CIGS Cells - Came from Solopower Portland
From the manufacturer
Process Specifications
Has the following components installed
The JET high material utilization source generates selenium vapor for mass production in-line machines for the manufacturing of CIGS Photovoltaic Solar Cells. Material is loaded into a large 40-liters reservoir which is heated up to deliver the selenium vapor. The vapor is injected into the process chamber by a linear nozzle diffuser to uniformly cover 1200 mm PV substrate or web in roll-to-roll machines. The JET source is a fully automated apparatus controlled by a powerful PLC interface.
CIGS Solar Cell process requires an efficient and industrial selenization source. More than any others, effusion sources have a direct impact on the quality of the coating deposited by means of Physical Vapor Deposition. With over 8,000 effusion cells and sources in the field, Riber has, with the acquisition of ADDON, the largest installed base and offers the largest portfolio of effusion cells and sources on the market.
Condition: Used
This tool came from Solopower and was part of a larger solar cell manufacturing line. It was deinstalled in early 2019 and was in working condition before the facility was closed.
