1. Introduction The National Center for Photovoltaics (NCPV), headquartered at NREL, serves as the focal point for the PV Subprogram. The laboratories at NREL and SNL, partners in the NCPV, conduct leading- edge research in PV materials, devices, modules, and systems. The laboratory facilities are maintained as resources for the U.S. PV community. Conducting leading-edge research and providing state-of-the-art measurement capabilities requires the latest experimental and analytical equipment. The NCPV developed a Multi-Year Capital Equipment Plan: 2005-2010 in FY 2004 and submitted the plan to DOE. Based on DOE’s budget guidance for FY 2005, the majority of the new capital equipment funds at NREL (all but $100K of the funding listed above) was designated for the design and acquisition of capital equipment for the new Science and Technology Facility (S&TF), planned for occupancy in FY 2006. Activities at the National Solar Thermal Test Facility (NSTTF) at SNL focused on supporting the six-dish mini power plant of Stirling Energy Systems (SES) and the operation and maintenance (O&M) of the facility in the context of complying with all environmental health and safety (EH&S) requirements. No new facilities or equipment are being developed. 2. Technical Approach During FY 2004, the NCPV prepared and submitted a multi-year capital equipment plan to the DOE Solar Energy Technologies Program with inputs from leading university research partners in the program. The multi-year strategy is to: (1) replace and upgrade seriously deficient and aging equipment that is several generations old and/or has become “cost ineffective” based on maintenance considerations; (2) acquire new equipment that provides capabilities introduced in the past 10 years and that are essential to the competitiveness of the U.S. PV Program; and (3) provide the capital equipment necessary to fully outfit the new S&TF so that we can meet our goal of reducing the time it takes to move a technology from the laboratory to the marketplace. The focus of the PV Subprogram funding in FY 2005 was on the S&TF capital equipment, as shown in the following table. Task Title FY 2005 Budget ($K) PV capital equipment for Science and Technology Facility (NREL) PV capital equipment for core 100 program (NREL) Operation and maintenance of the National Solar Thermal Test 370 Facility (NREL) The technical approach of the process integration project in the S&TF is to provide flexible and robust integration of deposition, processing (e.g., etching, annealing), and characterization tools via a standardized transfer interface such that samples move between tools in a controlled ambient. The benefits of having integrated tools include allowing researchers to: • Answer previously inaccessible research questions. • Control and characterize critical surfaces and assess the impact of these interfaces on subsequent layers. • Assess process-related source chemistry, surface chemistry and kinetics, and bulk reconstruction. • Grow layers and alter interfaces using controlled transfer ambients (without exposure to air). • Develop new techniques, methodologies, device structures, materials, and tools. Because of the need to handle a variety of substrate sizes, shapes, and materials in a sample platen, there are no "off the shelf" solutions to integrating the tools. Therefore, we had to develop our own set of design standards for future tool development, especially for the transfer interface (pod). The progress on each of the various tools in this project is discussed below. Each custom tool involves the following development steps: 1,871.7 163 Systems Integration and Coordination • • • • • • • Conceptual design specifications Obtain budgetary quotes Budgetary re-scoping (change scope to fit budget) Final specifications Award contract and vendor fabrication Site preparation (for tool hookup at NREL) Acceptance and full operation at NREL.PDF Image | DOE Solar Energy Technologies Program
