Highlighted at the exhibitor portion of the conference will be their Helios wet chemical copper metallization processes that offers advantages and cost savings of eliminating silver paste.  They will also present their ‘Alpha’ 7 Series of low residue fluxes as well as ‘Alpha’ EcoSol, the industry’s first low temperature, Pb-free alloy for PV ribbon tinning. 

Bruce Lee, Technology Manager Electronics Specialties, commented “As the industry evolves into more efficient cells, there is a demand for new plated conductor grid metallization and attachment materials.  These are MacDermid Alpha’s core competencies. Use of chemical processes and high efficiency fluxes and ribbon tinning alloys allow photovoltaics manufacturers a path to significant reductions in $/watt as well as high reliability.”  

The conference networking opportunity will include hundreds of attendees from c-Si cell manufacturers, module manufacturers, technology leaders, major equipment/materials supplies and leading academics at top R&D institutes.
