MKS introduces a solar yield management system to help manufacturers gain greater control

MKS Instruments has joined a growing group and introduced a solar yield management system for solar cell manufacturers. The MKS offering is called Genesis. The solar domain specific data analysis and visualisation software is based on semiconductor and flat panel analytical tools. It permits users to quickly identify and correct solar cell production failures, and enables faster production ramps for continuous yield and cell efficiency improvement.



The Solar Base integrated database contains all of the metrology measurements, quality measurements and process data necessary for one-stop engineering data analysis, and the enterprise Metadata manager enables three-tier connectivity to any existing database, eliminating the need to duplicate storage of engineering and production data.
