VEECO UNVEILS PV-SERIES THERMAL DEPOSITION FOR SOLAR.

Veeco Instruments Inc. (Nasdaq:VECO VECO Vernier Engine Cut Off ),Woodbury, N.Y., has introduced a line of new production-scale PV-Series Thermal Deposition Sources, enabling copper indium gallium selenide Sel´e`nide

) thin film solar manufacturers to more quickly transition from pilot to full scale solar cell production. Veeco's new line of thermal deposition sources for CIGS includes PV-Series SUMO (for copper, indium and gallium) and PV-Series Valved (for selenium selenium (səlē`nēəm), nonmetallic chemical element; symbol Se; at. no. 34; at. wt. 78.96; m.p. 217°C;; b.p. about 685°C;; sp. gr. 4.81 at 20°C;; valence −2, +4, or +6.  and sulfur) for R & D and production environments. "Veeco's new PV-Series sources for CIGS represent the industry's first commercially available production-scale thermal deposition solution for thin film solar manufacturing," said Jeffrey Hohn, vice president and general manager, Veeco MBE MBE (in Britain) Member of the Order of the British Empire

 Operations. "We believe that our PV-Series sources will accelerate our customers' production ramp, reduce capital costs and provide more reliable operation, compared to currently available sources or solar cell manufacturers' in-house custom designs." In addition to the new thermal deposition sources, Veeco's suite of solar technology solutions includes Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD MOCVD Metallo Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition
