Screen printing is the manufacturing method of choice for fabricating solar cell contact structures due to the ability to cope with extremely high productivity (up to 8,000 wafers/hour) with outstanding printing repeatability (+/- 5 μm). The high productivity and quality also result in a low cost of ownership. Applied's screen printing-based cell manufacturing platforms are the cornerstone of almost every solar factory today, renowned for their ability to process large volumes of thin wafers at high yield.
