KIC launches Spectrum thermal prediction software
KIC Thermal Profiling
Spectrum
KIC Thermal Profiling has unveiled its Spectrum thermal process optimisation software: the third and final link to the company's range of technologies for increased solar-cell efficiencies.
According to the company, the solar-cell manufacturing industry links higher cell efficiency to the ability to manufacture the solar wafers in the 'sweet spot' of the thermal process window.
Spectrum automatically identifies the correct furnace setup that achieves a thermal profile that is positioned within the 'sweet spot' of the established process window.
The prediction software uses the information from a single profile pass to evaluate the millions of possible furnace setups.
Each possible furnace recipe will yield a profile and Spectrum identifies the fit between the profile and the established process window.
Within seconds, the software can complete a ranking and present its recommendation for the furnace recipe (zone temperatures and conveyor speed) that yield the optimal profile.
Spectrum is a software-only option for the SunKIC profiler.
