H.C. Starck Inc: High Performance Solutions for Thin Film PV Solar Energy
Applications
EUCLID, Ohio, Apr. 29 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Through research and product innovation, H.C. Starck Inc., Fabricated Products
Group has developed sputtering targets offering superior sputtering performance for
thin films PV (TFPV) energy applications.
Focusing on CIGS, a-Si (amorphous silicon) and CdTe thin films solar module
manufacturers, H.C. Starck has been developing and successfully producing custom
sputter targets in molybdenum (Mo) and nickel based (Ni) alloys along with its other
core competency materials: tantalum (Ta), niobium (Nb) and tungsten (W).
H.C. Starck's planar and rotary sputtering targets were developed in response to
the demand to lower the cost-per-watt in the growing photovoltaic industry. Their
state-of-the-art Thin Film Materials Lab equipped with sputtering tools and
supporting equipment for testing film characteristics made it possible for in-house
prototyping and modeling to achieve this goal.
As a vertically integrated supplier, H.C. Starck is one of the world's largest
producers of molybdenum, tungsten and tantalum powders, and has expertise in
reducing, pressing and sintering these high performance materials and finishing them
for market. H.C. Starck uses highly specialized equipment and technologies capable of
producing rotatable sputtering targets at the height of the most demanding
requirements of target users in the areas of LCD display, large area coating and
solar cell applications.
Best in class production capabilities with premier extrusion facilities, H.C.
Starck can produce molybdenum rotary targets with inside diameters of 125 mm
(monolithic) and 135 mm (bonded) applications in molybdenum up through the current
largest rotary target requirement. Tantalum, niobium, nickel-vanadium and other
materials also can be produced in planar or rotary form. Targets in lengths of 4 m
(or more) can be produced per customer specification. H.C. Starck's extruded rotary
targets are fully dense with extremely low oxygen levels.
We invite you to visit Mike Hsieh and Alan Lee at the SNEC PV Power Expo 2010,
May 5-7, Shanghai New International Expo Center in Shanghai - Hall 2, Booth 2037 to
discuss how H.C. Starck can become your strategic partner in developing solutions for
your photovoltaic solar energy applications.
