Dry Silicon Etching Process for the Solar Cell Industry - the ADE technology.
About us
NINES PV has developed and patented the ADE process (Atmospheric Dry Etching) that enables dry etching of silicon at an industrial scale, without the costs typically associated with incumbent technologies. ADE is also the only industrial silicon etching process that does not use or generate green house gases (GHG). NINES PHOTOVOLTAICS is focused on bringing novel, innovative process technology and equipment to the Photovoltaic (PV) solar cell manufacturing industry. The company is based in Dublin, Ireland.

Improving water use efficiency is a key factor towards reducing #water stress. The #waterfootprint is an environmental indicator that comprises the total volume of fresh water used for products, processes or services that are consumed. Together with the #carbonfootprint, it is one of the most commonly used environmental indicators to quantify the #sustainability of products and processes. As #solar cell #gigafactory are now becoming the norm all over the world, local impact can be significant and will very much depend on selected technologies. Our solution: a low cost, ultra-high throughput, gas-phase etching process that doesn’t require any water ; the ADE technology. #reshoring #manufacturing #solarpv

Are you upgrading your R&D #Solar cell #equipment to the new #wafer formats ? The industry is moving quickly towards M10 and G12 sizes, and it is the perfect opportunity to move to the latest single side etching technology: The ADE process. Very small #footprint in your lab, ultra high etch rates, gas phase etch with very little maintenance and quick startup and compatible with #industrial processes. No rinsing, no drying, no additives required. It is that simple. And high etch selectivity for structuring and patterning requirements of advanced #pv cell architectures. We thrive working with the best Solar PV #Research institutes, enable new developments through #cooperation, and promote the adoption of a more #sustainable, #water-free and #GHG -free etching #technology. #solarpv #research #eupvsec2024 #innovation #instrumentation #sipv2024 Fraunhofer-Institut für Solare Energiesysteme ISE, ISFH – Institut für Solarenergieforschung Hameln, ISC Konstanz, Institut Photovoltaïque d'Ile-de-France (IPVF), Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives, INES - Institut National de l'Energie Solaire, University of Konstanz, Leibniz Universität Hannover, École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, imec, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, UNSW, Instituto de Energía Solar - Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Delft University of Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology, TNO, University of Stuttgart, Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, University of Colorado Boulder
