“Our
entry into wafer plating for the solar industry is one that allows us
to build on already developed in-house processes traditionally used in
semiconductor processing,” said Steve Cho, CTO of Surfect Technologies.
“Solar cell manufacturers will benefit by using tools and processes,
like the Ascent-200 and Leapfrog-300, which provide advanced levels of
flexibility while keeping costs as low as possible.”

Wafer level packaging miniaturization technology and now solar technology are key strategic business thrusts for Surfect.
