Thin Film Laser Scribing for PV Manufacturing: Part 2

Daniel Crowley and Cyriac Devasia

This two-part series describes the current generation of laser-based thin film patterning systems that provide high performance thin film scribing for the solar panel industry. In Part 1, we looked at the laser process in thin film manufacturing, types of lasers used for particular processes, the need for speed and accuracy, and ablation. Here we’ll look at some advanced features in a new generation of scribing tools.
