IL-RTS Rapid Thermal Shock

Building off of our successful Rapid Thermal Shock product line,Despatch is now offering a new In-line Rapid Thermal Shock (IL-RTS) tool for solar cell manufacturers. This revolutionary tool features a simple, in-line process that applies a low temperature thermal spike to solar cells, eliminating the need for low-bow paste.

After moving through the firing furnace, wafers enter the IL-RTS and are rapidly cooled to stabilize any thermal stresses. Following the cooling, wafers are warmed to above the dew point temperature to prevent condensation. The IL-RTS is designed to be compatible with any firing furnace on the front end, and the exit table accepts cell tester automation equipment for a completely seamless in-line process.

60MW Drying/Firing Furnace

The world's best selling firing furnace just got better. Despatch's Firing Furnaces are recognized for exceptional performance, process quality and maximum equipment up-time resulting in reduced cost of ownership. Our latest advancement is a new two lane infrared drying/firing furnace capable of producing over 2,400 cells per hour.

Integrated, In-line Diffusion System - DCF Series

The DCF Series In-line Diffusion Systems combine an in-line doping module, an infrared diffusion furnace and a process technology license. DCF Series Infrared Systems are designed to create highly homogeneous, shallow emitters that are critical to manufaturing high efficiency solar cells. The drive toward thinner wafers and higher yield make these systems ideal for maximizing your future investments.

Firing and Drying / Firing Infrared Furnace Series-CF and CDF

Despatch CF and CDF Series infrared furnaces are designed for very rapid ramp rates, maximum production up-time, high throughput and high yields-while ensuring product quality and process repeatability.

Infrared Oven Dryer - DR Series

Despatch DR Series infrared ovens are designed for fast, efficient drying and can be equipped with an optional VOC condenser, as well as other available options and are available in multiple belt widths and heated lengths.

In-Line Diffusion Infrared Furnace-DF Series

Despatch DF Series infrared furnaces are designed for in-line phosphorus diffusion of multi or single crystalline type photovoltaic solar cells. These highly efficient in-line diffusion furnaces are available in laboratory or full production scale systems and are designed to meet today's requirements for high efficiency, shallow emitters.

Polymer Curing - CP Series

Despatch CP Series lamp-based infrared ovens are designed for rapid, penetrating heat for quick and thorough curing of polymer resistor and conductive coatings on printed circuit boards. The CP series ovens can also be used for a wide variety of other applications using polymeric coatings on glass, ceramic or other substrate materials and are available in different belt widths and heating chamber lengths.
