Right from the start of new year 2018, Leadmicro has received order
of multiple systems from a leading PV industry benchmark manufacturer, to
provide key process technology – Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) passivation
systems for its high-efficiency PERC cell production. The installed unit will
full fill the designed production capacity while capable of smart manufacturing.
Leadmicro’s state-of-art ALD passivation system not only greatly improves energy
conversion efficiency of solar cells, but also significantly reduces the
production cost, opening a new chapter for global high-efficiency PERC solar
cell manufacturing.
With the shortest time-to-market, Leadmicro’s Kuafu? series ALD
passivation systems have successfully completed its acceptance for the first
batch of delivered units for n-PERT bifacial solar cell production. Running at
customer sites for nearly one year，all systems
have fulfilled technical specifications required, highlighting the technology
maturity of the first generation ALD passivation system. At the meantime,
Leadmicro’s technology team has push forward applications for p-type mono- and
multi- silicon PERC technology. In collaboration with multiple leading
industrial customers, Leadmicro has achieved breakthrough to deliver multiple
production systems to industry benchmark solar cell
manufacturer.
Leadmicro is committed to provide customers with the best solution
for mass production. In a very short time, Leadmicro’s technology team has
developed a series of ALD products that satisfy various customer needs for
production. The products include KF4500 ALD system that features smallest
footprint for the global pv market; the best cost performance KF5500D ALD system
that compatible with single/double side passivation, RIE “black Silicon” system,
and in-line ALD system etc. To realize ALD technology for high-efficiency PERC
cell high-volume-manufacturing. Leadmicro has been working closely with several
tier one industry partners utilizing proprietary technology and achieved
breakthrough to deliver multiple production systems to industry benchmark solar
cell manufacturer. Pilot production have shown that all key specifications such
as conversion efficiency, EL cell yield, uptime, safety, throughput and
cost-of-ownership etc. all surpassed current main stream technology dominated by
overseas, establishing a novel PERC cell production process that is different to
conventional approach. The unique reactor and automation design，especially the
ultra-large batch volume and ultra-high throughput, enables the extraordinary
productivity and greatly reduces the PERC cell manufacturing cost, Leadmicro’s
state-of-art batch ALD production system is currently the most advanced batch
type ALD production system in global market.
As point out by Mr. Yanqing Wang, chairman of board at Leadmicro that
"Leadmicro will provide our customer the state-of-art ultra-high throughput ALD
passivation system, with the world leading innovative solutions that capable of
integration with AGV carrier and MES system, fully compatible for future smart
plant production needs. The task given by our customers for high-efficiency
solar cell production is a testimonial of Leadmicro’s advanced technology and
innovation. Our world most advanced products is a breakthrough of achieving
localization through a fare technology competition with three international
equipment suppliers. I thank also our customer’s entrust and recognition of our
technology. Leadmicro’s technology opens up a new chapter for global
high-efficiency PERC solar cell manufacturing. I’m proud of Leadmicro in making
it’s humble contribution for accelerating the noble quest of solar energy grid
parity.”
