A Spanish-Finnish research team has fabricated an IBC solar cell with an ultrathin black silicon wafer with a thickness of 40 µm. The device is based on vanadium oxide and laser-processed ...

Engineers grow 'perfect' atom-thin materials on industrial silicon wafers Their technique could allow chip manufacturers to produce next-generation transistors based on materials other than ...

South Korean researchers have developed a process to produce ultra-thin wafers without sacrificing any of the substrates. Their technique is based on a new approach involving the use of plasma ...

The new method is a form of “nonepitaxial, single-crystalline growth,” which the team used for the first time to grow pure, defect-free 2D materials onto industrial silicon wafers.

Currently, Risen Energy has achieved the mass production of solar cells and modules using 110μm ultra-thin silicon wafers and have the capability to produce wafers with thicknesses less than 100 μm.

Electro Scientific Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:ESIO), an innovator in laser-based micromachining solutions, today unveiled its UltrusTM laser processing ...

“Free-form shaping of silicon wafers with nanometer precision requires a synergy of metrology, mechanics, and fabrication. By combining the lab’s decades of experience in surface metrology and ...

The wafers get repolished after each test and, after a certain point, are too thin to use as test blanks anymore. Even though thin, the wafers remain thick enough for the solar industry.

Jan 18, 2023 Engineers grow 'perfect' atom-thin materials on industrial silicon wafers (Nanowerk News) True to Moore’s Law, the number of transistors on a microchip has doubled every year since the ...
