Sun Chemical Electronic Materials for Photovoltaic
Electronic Materials is a major initiative at Sun Chemical. We have been active in the printable electronics market for more than 50 years. We entered the Photovoltaic market by designing innovative materials for crystalline, thin film, and Organic photovoltaic technologies. Our range now covers Cellmet Metallization Pastes, Solsys Screen Printable Etching/Plating Resists, Solsys Inkjet HotMelt Etching/Plating Resists, Solsys Dielectrics, Solsys PTF Silvers, Solsys Graphite, and Solsys Barrier Coatings.
Today, Sun Chemical Electronic Materials Group is increasing our commitment and the range of applications we support. With an eye towards future we are developing material solutions which will enhance the performance of our customers products. We have dedicated our R&D and commercial teams activities here in the U.S. in Europe and now Asia to compliment and support the rapidly changing material needs being used in devices now and into the future.
Electronic Materials Photovoltaic (PV) Applications
We have expanded the development of advanced materials to include inkjet hotmelt, roller coating, edge coating, and printable conductive pastes, resists, dielectrics for the following Photovoltaic and advanced device applications:
Conventional Mono/Multi Crystalline Silicon PV cell
- Conventional Mono/Multi C-Si PV cell
- Selective Emitter C-Si PV cell
Back Contact Crystalline Silicon PV cell
- IBC (Interdigitated Back Contact)
- EWT (Emitter Wrap-Through Back Contact)
- MWT (Metal Wrap-Through Back Contact)
Crystalline Silicon PV Module
Thin Film PV Flexible and Rigid Module
- Organic Thin Film PV
- CdTe Thin Film PV
- CIGS/CIS Thin Film PV
- Amorphous Thin Film PV
The electronic material development programs for PV are based in Carlstadt NJ and in St Charles, IL. Our state of the art facility in Carlstadt NJ, includes a newly commissioned $5M 3000 square feet, class 10,000 clean room, which is capable of fully qualifying c-Si wafers. Utilizing our global infrastructure through our parent company Dainippon Ink and Chemical ( DIC), we continue to support the constantly growing photovoltaic technologies and its customer base.
