Laser system for the fabrication of thin-film minimodules

The laser system is intended for the microstructuring of thin layers and is primarily used for the fabrication of thin-film (perovskite) minimodules with the help of P1, P2 and P3 patterning lines. The laser is placed in a nitrogen glovebox and is suitable for processing both absorber (perovskite) and conductive (TCO) layers. The system includes the removal of ablated particles via a HEPA filter.

Specifications

  • Two laser wavelengths of 532 and 1064 nm
  • Laser beam width 25 µm
  • 1 ns laser pulse
  • Sample processing up to a size of 14 cm x 14 cm
  • Automatic alignment of patterned lines
