In addition, Vericell delivers the lowest breakage rate in the industry with the highest inspection throughput of up to 5,400 wafers per hour. The Vericell Solar Wafer Inspection System combines high productivity with unique advanced inspection techniques that meet SEMI® solar standards to optimize the entire manufacturing line.
With its multi-image capture technology, the system can reliably detect even low-contrast defects, enabling 100% monitoring of wafer production. It classifies the wafers into different quality classes based on the data collected. Line-scan camera technology allows on-the-fly inspection with a moving sample, enabling the highest throughput.
Precise alignment across the entire solar cell enhances efficiency and performance. Optical inspection systems from ISRA VISION / GP Solar inspect the alignment across the entire cell and even detect local deviations . The systems use a flexible lighting concept to maximize the visibility of contrasts between the layers.
Printing solar cells is one of the most expensive process steps in the cell production chain. Therefore, detecting process deviations at an early stage is crucial. Discover the market-leading print pattern monitoring and inspect reliably at the highest line speeds.
Our inspection systems sort the inspected wafers into different quality classes based on their geometric properties. Wafers that do not meet the desired quality can thus be removed before further processing – ensuring high quality for excellent module effectiveness and permanently reduced warranty costs.
Full-surface optical inspection of the print pattern align-ments increases production quality and enables highly eficient IBC designs. Inspection technology from ISRA VISION / GP Solar is ready for standard and advanced cell technologies like IBC, HJT, Perovskite, and TopCon.
Application Note: SWIR imaging in solar cell inspection
Furthermore, wafers can be inspected to detect cracks, defects and saw marks, not only on the surface but also inside in the wafer.
