  • Cool-down system and method for a vapor deposition system
    Patent number: 8430963
    Abstract: A system for vapor deposition of a thin film layer on photovoltaic (PV) module substrates includes a system for cool-down of the vacuum chamber through which substrates are conveyed in a vapor deposition process. The cool-down system is configured with the vacuum chamber to recirculate a cooling gas through the vacuum chamber and through an external heat exchanger in a closed cool-down loop. An associated method for forced cool-down of the vacuum chamber is also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • METHOD FOR INCREASING THE WORKING SURFACE AREA OF A PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) MODULE AND ASSOCIATED SUBSTRATES
    Publication number: 20110262712
    Abstract: A method for processing substrates in the formation of photovoltaic (PV) modules, the substrates having a plurality of thin film layers deposited thereon. The method includes determining the geometric center of the substrate and performing subsequent processing steps for defining individual cells on the substrate using the geometric center of the substrate as a starting reference point for such processing steps.
