943i Sputtering Systems for Production of High Efficiency Ge & CIGS PV Solar Cells

March 16, 2012–KDF today announced that two leading industry Photovoltaic suppliers have selected Three of its 943i in-line sputtering system for use in PV Solar Cell manufacturing. The order verifies that KDF’s technology platforms continue to step-up to producing advanced Solar PV devices.

The 943i for its ability to adapt to changing solar cell process technology, a crucial aspect of space-based PV cell manufacturing since each device is expected to perform in the extreme conditions of space. KDF’s superior coating technology meets these standards. The solar cells need to perform in different conditions. This doesn’t just mean the weather. Hot or cold, it’s also the connected appliances. It’s always a smart idea to check with your solar charge controller supplier to see if the cells of the solar panel, are compatible with the controller. This can have a negative effect on your system if they don’t match or aren’t compatible. Check with the one handling your solar panel denver installation before you make your choice to be certain it will all work.

As new customers of KDF critical evaluations had to be met on the performance of the 943i provides the process integrity required for producing high-reliability devices,” said Todd Plaisted, director of marketing. “KDF already maintains a presence in the Solar Photovoltaic market and this order has continued our high-efficiency niche market penetration for this industry.”

KDF offers advanced and reliable batch in-line sputtering systems at the industry’s lowest cost of ownership. These systems are used around the world in the semiconductor, telecommunications, aerospace and medical technology markets, each tailored to meet specific processing needs.

For this process KDF configured the 900 Series system with a newly developed Bi-Polar dual cathode sputter capability for stable reactive processing, a first in the 900 series system. With sputter down capability and easy substrate loading, the 943i is ideally suited for Solar Cell PV applications which produce uniform films with an exacting, but repeatable, high-throughput process.

954i Sputtering Systems Proven Leaders In Medical Device Production

Feb. 11, 2010–KDF today announced that a leading industry supplier has selected two of its 954i in-line sputtering system for use in manufacturing pacemaker components. The order verifies that KDF’s technology platforms continues to meet rigorous standards for producing advanced medical devices.

The 954i for its ability to create dense adherant coatings, a crucial aspect of medical manufacturing since each device is expected to perform flawlessly. The KDF 954i features Inset(TM) style cathodes, a cathode design that provides long lifetime and high utilization for thick coatings, like those that are used to protect critical pacemaker components. There is no margin for error in pacemaker manufacturing applications and KDF’s superior coating technology meets these standards.

As a new customer of KDF critical evaluations had to be met on performance of he 954i provides the process integrity required for producing high stakes medical devices like pacemakers,” said Todd Plaisted, director of marketing. “KDF already maintains a presence in the medical devices market and this order has continued our market penetration for this industry.”

KDF offers advanced and reliable batch in-line sputtering systems at the industry’s lowest cost of ownership. These systems are used around the world in the semiconductor, telecommunications, aerospace and medical technology markets, each tailored to meet specific processing needs.

For the this process KDF configured the 900 Series system with a newly developed phased dual cathode sputter capability for higher throughput while achieving greater target material utilization. With sputter down capability and easy substrate loading, the 954i is ideally suited for medical applications which produce uniform films with an exacting, but repeatable, high-throughput process.

KDF Installs Multiple In-Line Sputtering Systems in Taiwan

· ·

KDF RELEASE 2002

KDF today announced that it has successfully completed installation of multiple in-line sputtering systems at two Taiwanese foundries. Micro Electro Magnetical Technologies Corporation (MEMT), based in Chunan, Miaoli, Taiwan, purchased a 603NT tool for critical film applications. Suntek Compound Semiconductor Company, based in Hsinchu Shien, Taiwan, ordered a 943NTX system with a planetary pallet for GaAs wafer production. The orders mark the first business between KDF and both companies.

“These two sales demonstrate the market penetration that KDF continues to gain in Taiwan. This increased interest from Taiwanese companies is based on the performance and cost-effectiveness of our tools,” said Kurt Flechsig, president of KDF. “We are pleased to welcome MEMT and Suntek as our two newest customers. KDF is committed to gaining a strong foothold in Taiwan, and we believe that these installations reflect our growth in this region.”

KDF is well positioned to capitalize on the expanding telecommunications and compound semiconductor market segments in Taiwan because of the breadth of its experience in these markets in the U.S. and Europe. As Taiwan’s gallium arsenide (GaAs) market continues to grow, KDF is focused on penetrating this market in its early stages.

“After evaluating the performance of other equipment, we found that the KDF tool surpassed the competition in terms of uniformity, which is critical in our discrete device production. Further, the cost of ownership advantages and customer support capabilities were key drivers in this purchasing decision,” said Allen Yang, assistant vice president of sales & marketing at MEMT.

According to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), the worldwide discrete market is forecasted to grow in 2003 to $14 billion, a 16 percent increase from 2002. The discrete semiconductor market is predicted to increase another 15 percent in 2004, to total $16 billion.

The 943NTX is part of KDF’s 900 Series of PVD systems, all of which feature in-line sputter-down capabilities. The 943NTX offers the option of extended cathodes and excellent uniformity. Popular for their pure metal target deposition and convenient wafer-to-pallet loading abilities, the 900 Series systems can be configured with an optional high vacuum load-lock and three or four target positions. High-rate DC magnetron sputtering and single- or multiple-pass deposition features support the versatility and high throughput of these production systems. Cathode and substrate orientation are horizontal, allowing gentle substrate fixturing for users.

The 603NT is a vertical, side-sputtering tool that is typically used for sensitive applications requiring target material that produces unusually high particulate contamination. The 600 Series are dual load lock, in-line, vertical batch sputtering systems. They are configured with an optional high vacuum load lock and three or four target positions and have a 13 x 13 inch pallet size.
