FUJIFILM Dimatix Technology Used in Solar Cells Demonstration

Researchers from Konarka Technologies published the results of using FUJIFILM Dimatix inkjet technology as a fabrication tool for the controlled deposition of its photovoltaic material in the journal, Advanced Materials (Volume 19, Issue 22). According to the company, the demonstration confirms that organic solar cells can be processed with printing technologies with little or no loss compared to “clean room” semiconductor technologies such as spin coating. In addition, inkjet technology is very promising for fabricating photovoltaics because it is compatible with various substrates and it does not require additional patterning.
