  • System for glass sheet semiconductor coating and resultant product
    Patent number: 9818822
    Abstract: A glass sheet semiconductor deposition system (20) for coating semiconductor material on glass sheets is performed by conveying the glass sheets vertically suspended at upper extremities thereof by a pair of conveyors (38) through a housing (22) including a vacuum chamber (24). The glass sheets are conveyed on shuttles (42) through an entry load station (26) into the housing vacuum chamber (24), through a heating station (30) and at least one semiconductor deposition station (32, 34) in the housing (22), and to a cooling station (36) prior to exiting of the system through an exit load lock station (28). The semiconductor deposition station construction includes a deposition module (102) and a radiant heater (104) between which the vertical glass sheets are conveyed for the semiconductor deposition.

  • SYSTEM FOR GLASS SHEET SEMICONDUCTOR COATING AND RESULTANT PRODUCT
    Publication number: 20160233300
    Abstract: A system (20) for coating semiconductor material on glass sheets is performed by conveying the glass sheets vertically suspended at upper extremities thereof through a system (20) having a housing (22) including a vacuum chamber (24). The glass sheets are conveyed on shuttles (42) through an entry load lock station (26) into the housing vacuum chamber (24), through a heating station (30) and at least one deposition station (32, 34) in the housing (22), and to a cooling station 36 prior to exiting of the system through an exit load lock station (28). The resultant semiconductor coated glass sheet (G) has tong marks (44?) formed during the coating processing.
