Edwards has announced the sale of multiple exhaust abatement systems to Advent Solar, Inc. Edwards Hot Oxidation Systems (HOx) will be used by Advent Solar for abatement of PECVD exhaust gases during solar cell manufacturing at its New Mexico plant.

Edwards has announced the sale of multiple exhaust abatement systems to Advent Solar, Inc. Edwards Hot Oxidation Systems (HOx) will be used by Advent Solar for abatement of PECVD exhaust gases during solar cell manufacturing at its New Mexico plant.

“We selected Edwards because it offered a cost-effective, non-fuel abatement solution,” said Doug Podzemny, Engineering Equipment Manager, Advent Solar, Inc. “This will complement our mission to provide low cost, efficient solar cells to our customers.”

According to Edwards' Chief Executive Officer, Nigel Hunton, “We are leveraging our advanced portfolio of process vacuum and abatement technologies, combined with our global service capability, to serve the solar market. We look forward to rolling out new products over the coming year that will be focused on helping to drive down the cost per watt of crystalline silicon (c-Si) and thin film PV solar cell manufacturing.”

AngelTech Live III: Join us on 12 April 2021!

AngelTech Live III will be broadcast on 12 April 2021, 10am BST, rebroadcast on 14 April (10am CTT) and 16 April (10am PST) and will feature online versions of the market-leading physical events: CS International and PIC International PLUS a brand new Silicon Semiconductor International Track!

Thanks to the great diversity of the semiconductor industry, we are always chasing new markets and developing a range of exciting technologies.

2021 is no different. Over the last few months interest in deep-UV LEDs has rocketed, due to its capability to disinfect and sanitise areas and combat Covid-19. We shall consider a roadmap for this device, along with technologies for boosting its output.

We shall also look at microLEDs, a display with many wonderful attributes, identifying processes for handling the mass transfer of tiny emitters that hold the key to commercialisation of this technology.

We shall also discuss electrification of transportation, underpinned by wide bandgap power electronics and supported by blue lasers that are ideal for processing copper.

Additional areas we will cover include the development of GaN ICs, to improve the reach of power electronics; the great strides that have been made with gallium oxide; and a look at new materials, such as cubic GaN and AlScN.

Having attracted 1500 delegates over the last 2 online summits, the 3rd event promises to be even bigger and better – with 3 interactive sessions over 1 day and will once again prove to be a key event across the semiconductor and photonic integrated circuits calendar.

So make sure you sign up today and discover the latest cutting edge developments across the compound semiconductor and integrated photonics value chain.
