Embodiment Construction

[0024] The present invention proposes an apparatus and method for effectively drying deposited material on a substrate surface. The apparatus and methods described herein are useful for removing solventborne materials of deposited materials on a substrate surface. In some cases, the material can be deposited by a screen printing process. In one embodiment, the screen printing chamber is adapted to deposit a patterned material on a crystalline silicon substrate, followed by drying the deposited material in a drying chamber. In one embodiment, both the screen printing chamber and the drying chamber are located on a rotary line tool or Softline from Baccini S.p.A. TM Within the tool, the Baccini S.p.A. is owned by Applied Materials, Inc. of Santa Clara, California, USA.

Abstract

The present invention(s) provide an apparatus and method for efficiently drying material deposited on a substrate surface. The apparatus and methods described herein may be useful for removing a solvent type material from a material deposited on a surface of a substrate. In some cases the material may be deposited using a screen printing process. In one embodiment, a screen printing chamber is adapted to deposit a patterned material on a crystalline silicon substrate and then dry the deposited material in a drying chamber. In one embodiment, the screen printing chamber and the drying chamber are both positioned within the Rotary line tool or the Softline(TM) tool available from Baccini S.p.A., which is owned by Applied Materials, Inc. of Santa Clara, Calif.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system for depositing a patterned layer on a substrate surface, such as a screen printing process. Background technique [0002] Solar cells are photovoltaic (PV) devices that convert sunlight directly into electricity. PV devices typically have one or more p-n junctions. Each junction comprises two distinct regions within the semiconductor material, one side of which is designated as a p-type region and the other side as an n-type region. After the p-n junction surface of the PV cell is exposed to sunlight (composed of photon energy), the sunlight is directly converted into electrical energy through the PV effect. PV solar cells generate a specific amount of electrical energy, and the cells are laid out in a module size to deliver the required amount of system power. PV modules are integrated into panels with specific frames and connectors. Solar cells are typically formed on silicon substrates, which may be mono...
