GROßRÖHRSDORF, Germany – In-line metrology systems developed by industrial vision specialist Basler Vision Technologies have been integrated into the production line of solar module manufacturer Sunfilm AG at its Großröhrsdorf plant near Dresden. The company is the first manufacturer to introduce large-scale production of silicon-based tandem junction thin-film modules, at a plant that went into production in April 2009 and uses Applied Materials equipment. Sunfilm’s production facility manufactures tandem junction thin-film solar modules in Großröhrsdorf, Germany. The plasma-enhanced...Read full article

    amorphous
    The disordered, glassy solid state of a substance, as distinguished from the highly ordered crystalline solid state. Amorphous and crystalline phases of the same substance differ widely in optical and electrical properties.
    bandgap
    In semiconductor physics, the term bandgap refers to the energy range in a material where no electronic states are allowed. It represents the energy difference between the valence band, which is the highest range of energy levels occupied by electrons in their ground state, and the conduction band, which is the lowest range of unoccupied energy levels. The bandgap is a crucial parameter in understanding the electrical behavior of semiconductors and insulators. Here are the key components...
    machine vision
    Machine vision, also known as computer vision or computer sight, refers to the technology that enables machines, typically computers, to interpret and understand visual information from the world, much like the human visual system. It involves the development and application of algorithms and systems that allow machines to acquire, process, analyze, and make decisions based on visual data. Key aspects of machine vision include: Image acquisition: Machine vision systems use various...
    metrology
    Metrology is the science and practice of measurement. It encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including the development of measurement standards, techniques, and instruments, as well as the application of measurement principles in various fields. The primary objectives of metrology are to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency in measurements and to establish traceability to recognized standards. Metrology plays a crucial role in science, industry,...
