SiGen And NorSun Establishes Equipment Supply Agreement

News
NorSun to be supplied with high volume manufacturing equipment for thin PV wafers using 'kerf free' PolyMax technology by SiGen.
Silicon Genesis Corporation (SiGen), a provider of process and technology for engineered substrates announced that it has signed an equipment development and supply agreement with NorSun of Oslo, Norway, a manufacturer of monocrystalline silicon wafers with established production capacity in Vanta (Finland) and Ardal (Norway) and planned crystal pulling and wafering operations in Singapore.

Under the agreement, NorSun will evaluate SiGen's 'kerf free' substrate samples made at SiGen's new pilot manufacturing facility and collaborate in optimising the high volume manufacturing equipment design that can process silicon ingots into kerf free wafers of 150μm thickness and below. The agreement also includes commercial terms for supply of HVM production equipment to NorSun.

Francois Henley, president and CEO of Silicon Genesis said: “The collaboration and supply agreement with NorSun is one key step forward in our PolyMax commercialisation plan. The agreement will provide us with a solid foundation to accelerate our product development and customer visibility. The technology's major cost benefits and uniquely realisable wafer thickness roadmap to 50μm and thinner continues to attract the attention of world class PV companies.”

Jon Hindar, CEO of NorSun added: “NorSun recognised the importance and potential of this innovative “kerf free” wafering technology to produce more high efficiency wafers out of less silicon material. We are looking forward to working with SiGen to develop this capability that can play a key part to support NorSun's strong growth and demand for our products in the global market. We continue to implement our goal to become the world leading supplier of superior quality silicon wafers for high efficiency solar cells.”
