ASE is a member of the international technology collaborative
SCHOTT Group. ASE supplies components for almost all photovoltaic
and solar thermal applications with fully-integrated production of
silicon wafers, solar cells and modules, thin-film modules based on
amorphous silicon, and receivers for solar thermal power plants. 50
to 300 watt high-output modules.
ASE uses the EFG manufacturing process for constructing
wafers. Instead of using wire saws to slice thin silicon wafers off
a block, the wafers are drawn directly as silicon film from a silicon
furnace. The EFG process ensures an immediate 0.3mm thinness, separated
with a laser from an octagonal hollow pipe. Whereas conventional processes
have 50% material losses, the EFG process cuts away only 10% of the
silicon material, some of which is recyclable, for an efficient method.
Thin film technology involves fixing an active semiconductor film on to the
carrier medium (substrate). The natural semiconductor silicon is the
most suitable for thin-film technology. Amorphous silicon has no crystalline
structure and so can be vaporized in ultra thin films on glass.
