(BT Imaging: Sydney, Australia) -- BT Imaging Pty Ltd. (BTi), a global supplier of luminescence-based inspection and quality control systems for the photovoltaic manufacturing industry, has introduced the LIS-P2 platform, the industry’s first multifunction inspection and analysis system designed to speed up failure analysis and sampling in production. Available in two configurations, the LIS-P2 platform has capabilities in a single tool that can replace the current operator-intensive practice of using four or more tools in the cell-production line lab. The LIS-P2w can inspect samples at all process stages, including as-cut wafers; the LIS-P2x inspects samples post-diffusion and onward to finished cells. As the industry moves toward higher efficiency solar cells, the imaging-based information provided by the LIS-P2 platform has the potential to enable faster and better decision making in solar cell production, resulting in cost savings and increased yield.
