OLT-SOLAROrbotech announced the receipt of initial purchase orders totaling approximately $10 million by its subsidiary ORBOTECH LT SOLAR, for its Aurora PECVD thin film deposition system. Deliveries on these orders are expected to commence in the first half of 2014.

OLT Solar from the Silicon Valley, has developed a new PECVD deposition system for the crystalline silicon solar cell manufacturing. The Aurora process chamber is equipped with OLT Solar’s proprietary Enhanced Linear Hollow-Cathode (ELH) showerhead, and is a capacitively coupled, parallel plate, direct plasma deposition reactor.

The ELH showerhead delivers high deposition rates maximizing process efficiency, and a high ion density plasma providing excellent bulk and surface passivation. This method also eliminates boat and carrier defects on the wafer surface and improves color uniformity as wafers lay horizontally on electrode surface.
