Semi-automatic robotic system for kerf-free silicon wafer production

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

Silicon wafers are the basis of most solar cells. However, current manufacturing methods waste much of the precious raw material. Enexra has developed a process that can produce up to 8 times more wafers from the same amount of raw material, reducing the costs of silicon solar cells by over 40%. The main goal of this project is to develop a prototype robotic tool that automates Enexra¿s process and demonstrates its capability of producing high-quality wafers in large volumes.
