Intermolecular (IM), First Solar (FSLR) Enter Two-Year CdTe Development Agreement

January 7, 2013 9:26 AM EST
Intermolecular, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMI) and First Solar, Inc. (Nasdaq: FSLR) have entered into a two-year collaboration and licensing agreement focused on further increases to the conversion efficiency of First Solar's cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cell technology. Under the new collaborative development program, First Solar and Intermolecular researchers will work together to develop disruptive new approaches to increasing the performance of CdTe solar cell technology using Intermolecular's proprietary High Productivity Combinatorial (HPC™) platform. The program targets substantial gains in First Solar's module conversion efficiency beyond its previously announced roadmap.

Intermolecular's mission is to improve R&D efficiency in the semiconductor and clean-energy industries through collaborations that use its HPC platform, which allows R&D experimentation to be performed at speeds up to 100 times faster than traditional methods.
