Morgan Offers PBN Material For TFPV Manufacture Morgan Technical Ceramics' CVD Materials business is offering its Performance Pyrolytic Boron Nitride material for use in the manufacture of the photo-absorption layer in thin-film photovoltaic cells. Performance Pyrolytic Boron Nitride (PBN) is a good material for crucibles and evaporation boats used in producing the thin-film photovoltaic (TFPV) cells, as well as for coating graphite heating elements used for material vaporisation. In solar cell production, thin-film deposition offers a simpler and more cost-effective alternative to using silicon wafers. Thin films use less material and are faster and simpler than the complex and delicate process of slicing, dicing and placing of silicon wafers. However, cost of deposition must be reduced and the efficiency of the resulting PV cells sufficiently increased to make solar electricity as inexpensive to generate as carbon-based methods. Use of the PBN material in the TFPV process i...
