全新產(chǎn)品將進(jìn)一步改善坩堝性能，由此光伏行業(yè)預(yù)計(jì)增產(chǎn) 20 億塊硅片，總功率提高 9 GW。

（中國(guó)上海 ，2017 年 4 月 19 日）作為全球領(lǐng)先的可再生能源技術(shù)解決方案提供商，賀利氏光伏推出了高純度 SiO2 防擴(kuò)散涂層－－HeraGlaze，該產(chǎn)品有望在硅錠生產(chǎn)過(guò)程中大幅提升坩堝的性能。這是賀利氏光伏在金屬化漿料之外推出的第一款產(chǎn)品，也將為集成式光伏系統(tǒng)制造商在品質(zhì)和產(chǎn)量上帶來(lái)大幅提升。HeraGlaze 可將晶硅產(chǎn)量提升 4%，同時(shí)大幅提高電池效率。以此估算，截至 2020 年，整個(gè)行業(yè)將增產(chǎn)近 20 億塊硅錠，總功率也將提高 9 GW。光伏電池生產(chǎn)的第一步工序中，廠家可應(yīng)用 HeraGlaze 將多晶硅塊融化成一整塊硅錠。這一前期工序無(wú)論是對(duì)硅錠還是最終成品（即光伏電池硅片）的品質(zhì)來(lái)說(shuō)，都具極為關(guān)鍵的意義。賀利氏的新品涂料可應(yīng)用于坩堝的多孔表面。這一產(chǎn)品可直接應(yīng)用于客戶的生產(chǎn)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，客戶也可對(duì)現(xiàn)有的坩堝進(jìn)行改造或升級(jí)。因此，該解決方案具有極高的性價(jià)比，客戶無(wú)需購(gòu)買新坩堝，從而節(jié)省了額外的資金。

科技領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，開(kāi)啟新篇章

在硅塊熔化和結(jié)晶的過(guò)程中，HeraGlaze 可作為一層屏障，可防止坩堝表面的雜質(zhì)（如鐵）因加熱而融入硅熔體/硅錠之中。通過(guò)增加硅錠的可用截面，從而確保更高的硅片產(chǎn)量。賀利氏光伏總裁李海德（Andreas Liebheit）表示：“作為科技領(lǐng)導(dǎo)企業(yè)，賀利氏推出的全新HeraGlaze 可為我們的發(fā)展之路開(kāi)啟全新篇章，同時(shí)還可為客戶創(chuàng)造更多的附加價(jià)值。這是我們?cè)诠夥姵亟饘倩瘽{料之外推出的第一款產(chǎn)品，是我們研發(fā)工作的又一個(gè)里程碑，可以幫助我們的客戶進(jìn)一步提升電池效率?！?

Higher yield of solar wafers and enhanced solar cell efficiency withnew HeraGlaze coating by Heraeus

Enhanced crucible performance able to deliver close to 2 billion more wafers and thusup to 9GW extra power

SHANGHAI, CHINA – April 19, 2017 – Heraeus Photovoltaics, the worldwide leading supplier ofmetallization solutions to the PV industry, introduced HeraGlaze, a high-purity SiO2 diffusion barriercoating for enhanced crucible performance in wafer production. It is the first product of HeraeusPhotovoltaics beyond metallization pastes and a leap in quality and yield for integrated PVmanufacturers.With HeraGlaze the wafer yield is increased by up to 4% and cell efficiency isimproved significantly. A higher wafer yield of 4% increases the output until 2020 to close to 2 billionwafers, resulting in approximately 9GW of extra power.

HeraGlaze is used in the very first step of the of the solar cell manufacturing process, when polycrystallinesilicon blocks are melted into a single silicon ingot. This early process is crucial for thequality of the ingots and thus for the quality of the final product – the solar wafers.

The new product of Heraeus comes as a slurry, which is applied on the porous surface of thecrucibles. This can be done directly at the production site of the customer and allows to retrofit orupgrade existing crucibles. As a result, the solution is very cost-efficient as no additional expenditureson new crucibles are required.

A new chapter as technology leader

HeraGlaze acts as a barrier and prevents that thermally induced impurities such as iron aretransferred from the crucible into the silicon ingot during the melting and crystallization of silicon. Thehigher wafer yield is achieved by increasing the usable section of a silicon ingot.

“HeraGlaze opens a new chapter in our roadmap as a technology leader and provides our customerswith more added value. It’s our first product beyond solar cell metallization and another R&Dlandmark, which enables our customers to realize further efficiency gains,” says Andreas Liebheit,President of Heraeus Photovoltaics.
