 Surfect Technologies has announced its move to start selling its single-cell electroplating tool and processes to the solar cell manufacturing industry, following other semiconductor equipment suppliers into this rapidly expanding market.
"Our Solar program will be focused on providing critical tools and process solutions utilizing technology developed to provide the semiconductor industry cost-efficient, reliable and miniaturized products," said Steve Anderson, President and CEO, Surfect Technologies. "Our company brings together proven expertise in plating processes as well as a very efficient process tool critical for enabling fast ROIC and scaling for high volume manufacturing required for strong solar industry growth."
"Our entry into wafer plating for the solar industry is one that allows us to build on already developed in-house processes traditionally used in semiconductor processing," said Steve Cho, CTO of Surfect Technologies. "Solar cell manufacturers will benefit by using tools and processes, like the Ascent-200 and Leapfrog-300, which provide advanced levels of flexibility while keeping costs as low as possible."
Wafer level packaging miniaturization technology and now solar technology are key strategic business thrusts for Surfect.
