The Materials & Processes group is involved in many aspects of the solar cell industry:

• Production of materials for solar cells (e.g., silicon, cadmium telluride, copper indium diselenide)
• Development of diffusion, metallization and passivation technologies
• Technoeconomic analyses of the production of solar cells and modules for plant yield improvement
• Consulting for large corporations seeking to acquire solar cell producers. This work has resulted in over a dozen U.S. and international patents.
