    agnetron sputter coating technology

    Historically, there have been two ways to apply coatings to glass. During the pyrolitic (on-line) process, the coating is applied during float glass production. The off-line process occurs after the glass has been produced, using a magnetron sputter vacuum deposition coater. In general the latter process offers increased coating options and a broader range of performance options than the pyrolitic process.

    To produce Advanced Architectural Glass, Guardian uses only Magnetron Sputter Vacuum Deposition (MSVD). It works at the molecular level to produce outstanding performance and offers significant advantages over pyrolitic (hard) and traditional soft coated glass products. Guardian uses different gases, such as argon, nitrogen or oxygen, which react with different materials to produce thin metallic and dielectric layers in different sequences, resulting in a wide range of coatings and performance characteristics.

    Guardian has invested tremendous resources toward continuous improvement in glass performance in relation to solar heat gain, u-value and other measures. The result is that the specification and use of SunGuard Architectural Glass continues to grow in the commercial construction market. We offer a wide range of products that:

    • can achieve dramatic energy savings,
    • will or exceed local Building Regulations energy requirements,
    • satisfy different aesthetic and design requirements,
    • provide shorter lead times for your projects.

    What is a TCO film?

    In thin film silicon solar cells,*1 TCO films function as conductors (electrodes) that derive electrical energy from sunlight. These films must meet the following conditions: they must be able to conduct electricity, they must be transparent, and they must be able to efficiently scatter light by means of their surface concavoconvex texture, to conduct more light into the photovoltaic layer for higher power generation efficiency.

    Crystal silicon solar cells and thin film silicon solar cells

    Crystal silicon solar cells and thin film silicon solar cells

    *1 Thin-film silicon solar cells are made by forming very thin silicon films on glass substrates. These cells use only about one-hundredth the amount of silicon compared with typical crystalline silicon solar cells (solar cells made by processing silicon ingots into wafers). On the other hand, thin-film silicon solar cells have lower power generation efficiency (less than 10%) compared with crystalline silicon cells (approx. 15%) , which is the challenge for thin-film silicon solar cells.

    Thin-film silicon type

    Thin-film silicon type
    Features of the AGC Group's technology

    The AGC Group's TCO films have the following characteristics: they are highly conductive films with low electric resistance and scatter light very efficiently. We embarked on the development of TCO films in 1985. Our first product, Type U TCO film became the world's standard for TCO films, but it scattered only 10% of incoming sunlight (haze rate). After releasing the Type VU TCO film, which had a better haze rate, on the market, we unveiled the development of Type HU TCO film, which can scatter up to 90% of incoming sunlight through our original nano-scale (one-billionth of a meter) film forming technology. By generating smaller concavoconvex parts onto the existing concavoconvex surface, we have made it possible for the film to reflect sunlight in a more complex manner in order to conduct more light into the photovoltaic layer for improving the power generation efficiency.
    The AGC Group also possesses a technology to coat TCO films onto float glass concurrently at the time the glass is produced. We will continue our development activities to meet the needs of still more customers.

    كاربرد شیشه در ساختمانها به منظور بهره گیری از مناظر و استفاده از نور خورشید و همچنین نماسازی صورت می گیرد. اما این مزایا همواره با یك ایراد بسیار مهم در تقابل هستند: شیشه ها منشاء عمده اتلاف انرژی گرمایش و سرمایش در ساختمان میباشند. حتی در ساختمانهای جدید حدود 20% اتلاف حرارت از شیشه ها صورت می گیرد و در طول تابستان نیز 75% گرمای جذب شده مربوط به شیشه هاست كه هزینه های تهویه مطبوع را افزایش میدهد. تحقیقات علمی و صنعتی در جهت حل معضلات فوق از سال 1960 شروع شد. امروزه توسعه فن آوری تولید پوششهای چندلایه توانسته با بكارگیری لایه های متعدد مشكلات كاربرد شیشه در ساختمان را به میزان مطلوبی رفع نموده و اثرات شگرفی در بهینه سازی مصرف انرژی داشته باشد.

    پوششهای مدرن بطور متوسط از پنج لایه تشكیل شده اند و بستر كلی آنها پلیمری میباشد. این فن آوری درحقیقت برپایه عملكرد انتخابی درمورد كل گستره طیف الكترومغناطیسی و نور خورشید استوار است كه اشعه های حرارتی را مهار میكند و نور مرئی را بصورت كنترل شده عبور میدهد. لایه های مختلف با مكانیسم های مخصوص به خود خواص زیر را به شیشه میدهند:

    -     دفع حرارت نور خورشید تا 81% به واسطه لایه  Metallized.Sputtered .

    -     جلوگیری از اشعه فرابنفش تا 99% بواسطه لایه حاوی گونه های شیمیایی    UV Absorbers 

    -     افزایش دفع ضربه در شیشه و جلوگیری از پخش قطعات شكسته بواسطه لایه پلیمری تقویت شده و مكانیسم های ویژه چسبیدن.

    -     و غیره.

    اجرای فن آوری فوق برروی  شیشه های رایج در كشور ممكن است،‌ برای نصب آنها نیازی به خروج شیشه از قاب نبوده و با ایجاد كمترین تغییرات در محیط كار همراه است.

    خاصیت دفع حرارت قادر است ورود گرما به ساختمان را در شیشه های دوجداره و یك جداره بطور متوسط تا 60% كاهش دهد. همچنین این پوششها دارای انواع كم گسیل  (low-e) نیزمیباشند كه اتلاف حرارت در زمستان را تا 29% كاهش میدهد. این دو معیار بطور مستقیم انرژی سرمایش و گرمایش در ساختمان را كاهش میدهند. در مورد پوششها معمولا“ 19 مشخصه اندازه گیری میشود كه تمام خواص حرارتی و نوری را شامل میگردند و خواص فیزیكی ومكانیكی را میتوان به این ویژگیها افزود.

     

    اهم مشخصات بدین شرح میباشد :

    1-       درصد دفع حرارت خورشید. (Total Solar Energy Rejected TSER)

    2-       درصد عبور، انعكاس و جذب كل تابش خورشید. (Total Solar Transmittance / Reflectance/ Absorptance)

    3-       درصد كاهش ورود حرارت نسبت به شیشه عادی :   Solar Heat Gain Reduction

    4-      درصد كاهش اتلاف حرارت نسبت به شیشه عادی  Heat Loss Reduction

    5-       انواع ضرایب انتقال حرارت  K Value

     

    انتخاب پوشش مناسب در هر ساختمان تابع پارامترهای متعددی است از جمله :

    نوع، رنگ، ضخامت و مساحت شیشه، جنس چارچوب پنجره، اقلیم منطقه، وضعیت ساختمان نسبت به تابش خورشید، نوع سایه ها و ... برآیند این عوامل در جداول دقیق، جواز نصب پوشش در هر مورد را تعیین می نماید. همچنین نهایتا“ بااستفاده از نرم افزارهای مناسب پیش بینی میزان صرفه جوئی در انرژی ساختمان و هزینه ها میسر میباشد.

    علاوه بر بهینه سازی مصرف انرژی درساختمان مزایای دیگری نیز برقرار می باشند، به عنوان مثال جلوگیری از ورود اشعه فرابنفش تا میزان 99% باعث میشود، مضرات این تشعشع از جمله رنگ رفتگی لوازم داخل ساختمان، تخریب تدریجی مواد پلاستیكی و پارچه ای و ایجاد حساسیت و امراض و سرطانهای پوستی رفع گردد و عمر مفید تجهیزات ساختمان افزایش یابد. همچنین مكانیسم پیوند این پوششها به شیشه به گونه ایست كه درصورت شكسته شدن شیشه فرو نمی ریزد و امنیت ساكنان ساختمان را تامین می نماید. در این زمینه انواع ویژه ایمنی/ امنیتی و ضد سرقت نیز ارائه شده اند.

    كلا“ این فن آوری بیش از صد نوع پوشش را شامل می شود كه  به علت پیشرفت سریع فن و تكنولوژی و تازگی، تنوع و حجم اطلاعات در این زمینه اغلب مهندسان و طراحان از كارایی و میزان دقیق صرفه جویی انرژی حاصل از این محصولات آگاه نیستند.

    Advanced flat glass in the report is defined as automotive glass, electronic display glass, low-e glass and solar glass.

    The market size of automotive glass approximates USD15 billion, with around USD13 billion from OE market and USD2 billion from AM market. In OE market, the five titans including AGC, NSG, Fuyao, PGW and Saint-Gobain occupy approximately 85% altogether in the global market, indicating a very high entry threshold.

    As for the electronic display glass market, the market size is about USD16.5 billion, of which, large size TFT-LCD substrate registers around USD15.7 billion. As the production of glass substrate requires sophisticated technologies, only four companies, namely, US-based Corning, Japan-based AGC, Nippon Electric Glass and AvanStrate, can make the product. As the world’s largest glass substrate manufacturer jointly invested by Corning and Samsung, Samsung Corning realized revenue of USD4.856 billion in 2010, with the gross margin exceeding 75% as opposed to 5-8% of ordinary flat glass.  

    Low-E glass and solar glass are among the hottest investment topics at present, but their gross margin is far less than that of large size TFT-LCD substrate.

    In Europe and the USA, the utilization rate of low-E glass is extremely high, but very few buildings are erected each year. In contrast, China inputs huge amounts of money to build public and commercial buildings each year, so it is the largest market of low-E glass. In China’s civil architecture field, the penetration rate of low-e glass is very low due to the exorbitant price, and the market size will see no considerable growth in the short run.

    European and American enterprises are taking leading roles in low-e glass market. In particular, PPG, Guardian and Saint-Gobain take a lion’s share of the European and American market. However, due to high transportation cost, these enterprises can thrust into the Chinese market only through joint ventures. Thus far, the three have been very conservative about investments and rarely expanded capacities.   

    The market size of solar (PV) glass is relatively small. Solar glass is mainly classified into two categories: one is anti-reflective glass for silicon solar cell, and the other is TCO glass for thin film solar cell. The solar industry is facing unprecedented winter, witnessing grim price competition that causes sharp decline in gross margin. It is estimated that the market size of TCO glass in 2011 will approximate 57.092 million sq m valuing about USD1.3 billion. Due to very high industry admittance threshold, TCO glass market is largely monopolized by AGC and NSG of Japan.   

    The nosedive of polycrystalline silicon price has undermined the cost edge of thin film cell. In 2009, the silicon cell was priced at USD2.4/w with the cost around USD2.02/w; the thin film cell was priced at USD1.95/w with the cost around USD1.2/w. Presently, the cost of silicon cell is reduced to below USD1.18/w, while the cost of thin film cell cut down to USD0.92/w. As a result, the cost advantage of thin film cell manufacturers has been weakened significantly. The output of Chinese thin film cell manufacturers is relatively low. The major thin film cell manufacturers worldwide concentrate in the USA, Japan and Germany. Particularly, US-based First Solar occupies an overwhelming share of 50% or so.

    TCO for Photovoltaics

    -->

    TCO coatings for thin film solar cells (a-Si, μc-Si and CdTe)

    With the surge of photovoltaics (PV) in the world today, solar cell manufacturers are looking for more economical coating solutions for their production lines. Beneq, with its own nAERO® aerosol-assisted pyrolytic deposition method, presents a technically superior and economical coating method for in-line and off-line coated products. nAERO is capable of producing low-haze and high-haze transparent conductive oxide (TCO) coatings, which allows the cell manufacturer to optimize the coating to suit his specific needs and thus maximize the efficiency of the thin film cell.
     

    Higher photon efficiency

    A nAERO-produced TCO coating is a pyrolytic hard coating consisting of fluorine-doped tin oxide (SnO2:F). Coating parameters can easily be adjusted and optimized to yield best results for haze, conductivity or transmittance. Haze can be as low as < 1% or as high as 20%, including the range between the two extremes. nAERO TCO by Beneq is fully temperable and can be laser-scribed or wet-etched. In addition, the pyrolytic hard coating has very good adhesion to sealing materials.

    Efficient raw material usage

    nAERO deposition is based on sub-micron sized droplets that are directed to the glass substrate. This enables a high growth rate and good material economics, with a raw material (precursor) yield of 20% or better.

    Underlayer

    If needed, an underlayer consisting of SiOx, SiO2 or TiO2 can be added between the electrically active TCO layer and the glass substrate. This underlayer is produced in a process step prior to nAERO coating. The underlayer serves as a barrier layer against sodium diffusion and eliminates iridescence in reflected light.

    Product Name: TCO glass
    Product Num: 01
    Add Time: 2010-11-7 16:53:08
    Product Introduce:

    TCO (Transparent conductive oxide) glass is also called  transparent conductive oxide coating glass. Using physical or chemical method to form uniform and transparent conductive oxide thin film including In, Sn, Zn and Cd oxide and its composite multi-oxide thin film materials. 

      TCO glass was originally used in flat panel displays, the conductive glass of ITO type is still the mainstream glass electrode product of flat-panel display industry. In recent years, the price rise of crystalline silicon have greatly promoted the development of thin-film solar cells. Currently, the thin film market share takes up over 10% of the global market share. TCO glass as necessary component of the cells, the market demand is increasing rapidly and has become a high-tech coating product.

      Properties and categories of TCO coating glass
    In solar cells, electrode of crystal silicon type cells is the wire welded on the surface of the silicon chip. High transmittance of the front cover-plate glass will be OK. Coated with pin semiconductor film on the glass and then coated with back electrode.
          There are many coating materials and crafts of TCO. Through scientific and continous selecting, there are mainly three kind of TCO glasses which are matched with the performance of PV cells.
      ITO coating glass is a mature product which has high transmittance, firm layer and good conductive property and is initially used in front electrode of PV cells. However, with the increasing requirements on light absorption property, TCO glass must accordingly enhance the ability of light scattering. It is difficult for ITO glass to achieve this and its laser etching property is poor. Indium is a rare element stored in nature, so the price is high. When applied in solar cells, ITO glass is not stable enough in plasma. Therefore, ITO coating glass has not been the mainstream of PV electrode glass.    

    SnO2 coating is also called FTO which is mainly applied as Low-E glass used in architecture. Its conductive property is relatively lower than ITO, however, it has the advantage of low cost, easy laser etching and good optical property. Through research and improvement to ordinary Low-E glass, we develop a new haze product which has better conductivity than Low-E glass.  By this technology, TCO glass has become the mainstream product of thin film PV cells.

     Research of zinc oxide-based thin film develops rapidly, its material property is similar to ITO and the structure is hexagonal wurtzite. Research range of al-doped zinc oxide thin film is wide, its prominent advantage is that it is easy to get the materials, low-cost, non-toxic, easy to implement doping and the stability is good in plasma. It is expected to be a new type PV TCO product soon. The main problem lies in the technical problem when carry on large-scale coating.

    performance requirements of PV cells on TCO coating glass  1.Spectral transmittance

     In order to utilize the sunlight sufficiently, TCO coating glass must maintain relatively high transmittance. The largest output of thin film is the dual-junction amorphous silicon thin film cell and has converted to amorphous / microcrystalline cell. Therefore, the amorphous / microcrystalline laminated composite can increase the conversion efficiency and will soon become the mainstream product of thin film cells.   2.Conductive property
          Conductive principle of TCO thin film is doping trace amounts of other elements in the original intrinsic semiconductor which conductivity is very weak, thus make significant change to the conductivity of the cemiconductor. By doping tin into indium oxide to increase the conductivity, ndium tin oxide (ITO) transparent conductive glass is formed. Its conductive property is the best at present with the lowest resistivity of 10-5Ωcm.

     3.Haze


     To increase the optical absorption capacity of thin film cell semiconductor, the TCO glass have to increase the scattering capacity of transmission light and this capacity will be expressed by Haze. Haze is the cloudy or muddy appearance of transparent or translucent materials surface caused by light difusion. The haze will be expressed by percentage of luminous flux of diffusion to luminous flux of materials.   In normal cases, the ordinary coating glass requires smooth surface and small haze, fowever, TCO glass requires a certain degree of light scattering capacity. Currently, the commercial TCO glass of AFG’s PV-TCO have a good haze control with haze value of 11%-15%. It does not include the direct transmittance curve of light scattering.

      

    4.Laser etching property
     In the production process of thin film cells, the cell’s surface should be divided into several long strips and then make them in tandem to increase the output power. Therefore, before coated with semiconductor coating, we should etch the conductive coating of TCO glass first. The etched part should be removed of conductive oxide film so as to keep insulated. There are currently chemical etching and laser etching.Requirement of etching lines is very strict, and laser etching has the characteristics of uniform grooves, easy to clean and high production efficiency.

      5.Weatherability and durability
    TCO coating generally adopts subdura coating technology, the coating has good abrasion-resistance and acid and alkali resistance. After the installation of the photovoltaic cells, especially the installation of integrated PV system on roofs and walls, it is not suitable to frequent maintenance and change. Therefore, it requires good durability of the PV cells. At present, the industry common shelf-life period is more than two decades. Thus, TCO glass shelf-life must more than 20 years.
         the development prospect of TCO glass
    When the PV industry moves forward at the speed of 40%, the polysilicon supply of crystalline silicon solar cells becomes more and more urgent. Polysilicon price arises from 24dollars/kg up to current 300dollars/kg. Compared with the crystalline silicon solar cells, thin-film solar cells have strong low-light applications and strong plasticity. The rise of crystalline silicon price promoted the development of thin film solar cells which has taken up over 10% of the global PV market share. With the price rise of polysilicon, the thin film development is expected to be accelerated.
      The conversion efficiency of thin-film cells is varous, we make a calculation based on the mainstream amorphous silicon which is equivalent to 50 watts per square meters. This is to say, every 50-watt cell will use 1 square meter of TCO glass. It can be calculated that the requirement of global PV industry on TCO glasses will be 7 million square meters. It seems that this figue is small, however, due to the high-end technology, there are only two TCO manufacturers. With the annual increase rate of 50%, the solar cells have been short in supply. The price of per square meter has reached 20 dollars.
       According to authoritative forecasts, the market demand of thin film solar cells will continue to increase and will reach to demand of 40million per year. Currently, many manufactuers and research institutes are pushing forward the industralization of TCO glasses, therefore, the production capacity will enlarge continuously and the high performance new products will be promoted.

       We can see clearly that it is precisely because of the rapid development of thin-film solar cells, the market demand of TCO glass is becoming more and more urgent. In the field of conductive glass, there are many specific performance requirements of TCO glasses which have close relations with solar cell output. It can be said that the development of thin film solar cells will be to some extent dependent on the degree of photovoltaic TCO improvements. The shortage of resource promote the development of PV industry and will make the TCO glass a bright new star of glass industry.

    Transparent conducting films (TCFs) are optically transparent and electrically conductive in thin layers.

    TCFs for photovoltaic applications have been fabricated from both inorganic and organic materials. Inorganic films typically are made up of a layer of TCO (transparent conducting oxide), generally in the form of indium tin oxide (ITO), fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO), and doped zinc oxide. Organic films are being developed using carbon nanotube networks and graphene, which can be fabricated to be highly transparent to the infrared light, along with networks of polymers such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and its derivatives.

    Transparent conducting films act, as a window for light to pass through to the active material beneath (where carrier generation occurs), as an ohmic contact for carrier transport out of the photovoltaic but also as transparent carrier for smd electronics used between laminated glass or light transmissive composites. Transparent materials possess bandgaps with energies corresponding to wavelengths which are shorter than the visible range of 380 nm to 750 nm. As such, photons with energies below the bandgap are not collected by these materials and thus visible light passes through. However, applications such as photovoltaics may require an even broader bandgap to avoid unwanted absorption of the solar spectra.
