Koen Staelens, Product Market Manager at Bekaert Sputter Products. “We are excited to present our innovations to the US and China audiences and we are convinced that visitors of SVC and China Glass will value the low cost of ownership and excellent performance of our new rotatable sputter solutions,” he adds.
New : one-piece AZO rotatable target
The new AZO rotatable target is the latest member of Bekaert’s extensive range of rotatable sputter targets with materials for the deposition of TCO layers used in photovoltaic cells.
“Bekaert is already a leading provider of rotatable sputter solutions for the automotive and architectural markets,” comments Koen Staelens. “Backed by our intensive R&D efforts, in-depth understanding of customer applications and responsive customer services, we are convinced that our new one-piece AZO rotatable target will create high value for photovoltaic customers as it ensures a more stable process and allows higher power rates.”
By combining rotatable targets with its innovative sputter hardware, Bekaert is able to offer complete solutions for new coating lines as well as retrofit existing PVD sputter lines, by enabling longer production runs, faster coating deposition and higher material utilization.
At the heart of the glass and coating communities
The SVC Exhibit takes places at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA, USA, from May 9 to 14, 2009. Bekaert will be present at booth #317/319. The Exhibit is considered to be the ideal platform for companies involved with vacuum coating technology. It is an excellent forum for participants to expand business opportunities, find new contacts and inspiration and learn about new developments, applications and advancements in vacuum coating, surface engineering and related technologies.
The China Glass 2009 event will take place in the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, China, from 13 to 16 May 2009. Bekaert will be present at booth #298, hall E4.
