INFICON Introduces Guardian Co-Deposition Controller at Intersolar North America 2008
Most accurate control of simultaneous
co-deposition of multiple materials for
CIGS films
Syracuse, NY - July 8, 2008: INFICON will showcase its new Guardian ™ Co-Deposition Controller, powered by electron impact emission spectroscopy (EIES) to significantly improve the reproducibility of film quality during fabrication of CIGS films, at this year's Intersolar North America, July 15 - 17 in San Francisco. For solar photovoltaic cell manufacturing, Guardian provides precise control of deposition rates from 0.1 to 10,000 Å/s. The system operates one or two sensors, up to 8 optical inputs and controls up to 8 deposition sources, enabling co-deposition of up to 8 materials.
The unique Guardian EIES sensor (patent pending) measures deposition rates more accurately without interference from residual gases while monitoring CIGS processes. Its Windows®-based software provides easy setup and operation of multi-material thin film deposition processes. It is fully compatible with INFICON Sentinel sensors, providing easy integration into existing systems. Guardian Co-Deposition Controller is ideal for controlling simultaneous co-deposition of multiple materials in applications such as CIGS for photovoltaics, MBE, OLEDs, and superconducting thin films.
