GP PROCESS-LAB
Automatic analytical system for determining chemical concentrations in various baths
overview

Situation

In modern solar cell production, wet-chemical baths are used for a broad range of process steps. Detailed processes knowledge and precise knowledge of wet chemical solutions’ chemical composition form the basis for reliable process control. The GP PROCESS-LAB precisely and automatically analyzes almost all chemical compositions in wet chemical baths used in acid texturing processes for solar cell production.

Principle

  • Automatic sample preparation and analysis
  • Acid-base titration
  • Select measuring method using a barcode on sample bottle

Advantages

  • Chemical composition knowledge increases line performance and bath life spans
  • Better understanding of processes
  • Automatic offline measurement
  • One measuring device can analyze various baths (various chemicals)
  • No calibration necessary
  • Advanced version for edge isolation bath analyses and analyses of advanced acid texture baths with H2SO4
