Industries we serve

Process tools for photovoltaic materials and device development.

PV researchers need flexible deposition, anneal and interface-control workflows for perovskites, chalcogenides, transparent contacts, electrodes and early-stage device stacks.

Process tools for photovoltaic materials and device development.

Application fit

Perovskite and air-sensitive stacks

Support glovebox-compatible workflows for moisture and oxygen-sensitive PV materials and interfaces.

Contacts and transport layers

Develop metal electrodes, transparent conductive layers and reactive sputtered films for device optimisation.

Thermal process windows

Explore anneal conditions for crystallisation, contact behaviour and stability studies.

Scale-aware prototyping

Move from proof-of-concept samples toward more mature processes without immediately consuming central infrastructure.
