SEMICON Europa 2008 Information

4th Photovoltaic Manufacturing Technology Conference
8-9 October 2008

The 4th Photovoltaic Manufacturing Technology Conference will take the issues mentioned at the last Fab Managers Forum in Dresden, and present solutions from the equipment and the materials suppliers. Fab Managers want access to the latest technology possibilities, have full control on their production process, and have flexible and sustainable facilities in order to drive down the unit costs of each wafer, cell or module produced. This year a balanced program is offered, offering new technology development, latest research results, tools that enable ASPC in photovoltaics, and the latest development in recycling and sustainable facilities.

The target audience is facility managers; chief engineers or purchase managers of wafer manufacturers; cell or module makers and any other important stakeholders in the PV industry who are concerned with the latest developments and issues in PV manufacturing.

The conference is split in two segments over two half days: Day One will focus on new technologies, while Day Two concentrates on productivity, yield improvement, manufacturing excellence and sustainable facilities.
