Thin Film Substrates,
Superstrates and Devices

Discover new material options for manufacturing next-generation devices.

Thin film solar panels
 
 

Reduce material costs for tomorrow’s photovoltaic devices

Innovations in thin film technologies might signal a shift in the next generation of photovoltaic devices. With potential cost savings compared to traditional wafer technology, thin film substrates and superstrates may answer the challenge of obtaining grid equity and help make solar energy a viable alternative.

With a significant investment in manufacturing facilities to produce high-purity monosilane, Dow Corning is furthering its commitment to the solar industry. Construction of a new facility in Hemlock, Michigan, adjacent to joint-ventures Hemlock Semiconductor Group’s polysilicon manufacturing site, will enable Dow Corning to provide a reliable supply of specialty monosilane gas products.
