Amtech Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASYS) today provided further comment on the significance of its previously announced three-party research collaboration agreement between Amtech's Tempress(R) Systems Inc, subsidiary, Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited (NYSE: YGE), one of the world's leading vertically integrated photovoltaic product manufacturers, and the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands, a leading solar research center in Europe.
The joint project under the agreement endeavors to develop and implement high efficiency N-type silicon solar cells, named PANDA, at Yingli Green Energy's pilot production line in Baoding, China. The high efficiency cells will utilize the cell design of ECN, the solar diffusion technology and dry PSG removal expertise of Tempress, Amtech's solar subsidiary, and Yingli Green Energy's leading cell process technology.
The P-type silicon solar cell is the predominant solar cell used in today's market. The advantage of N-type silicon solar cells is that, among other things, unlike P-type silicon solar cells, there is virtually no sunlight induced efficiency degradation, which makes it a highly desirable cell product. The typical effect on efficiency from light induced degradation for P-type Czochralski (Cz) silicon solar cells is 0.5 to 1.0%.
