E-Clipse allows quick replacement of solar wafers
A KIC Thermal Profiling product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Jul 27, 2009
The E-Clipse from KIC Thermo Profiling promises fast and convenient TC attachment and repeatable profile readings.
It features four spring-loaded TCs within a lightweight fixture that also holds the solar wafer.
The TCs have disk-shaped beads, rather than the traditional spherical-shaped beads.
These flattened TCs offer a more reliable contact to the surface of the solar wafer, as well as repeatable profile readings.
To operate, the user simply slides any relevant solar wafer into the fixture and the TCs seat themselves automatically.
Today's solar wafers are thin and brittle, meaning they can break easily.
The E-Clipse allows for quick replacement of broken wafers.
Four standard type K TC connectors plug into the profiler.
TC attachment has been a long-standing challenge for the production of solar cells.
Traditional TC attachment methods have suffered from inaccurate and non-repeatable readings.
The E-Clipse addresses this challenge and helps manufacturers advance towards better thermal process control, resulting in higher solar cell efficiencies.
