Photovoltaics (PV) are an inexhaustible source of clean energy. The technology has been more widely adopted in recent years due to improvements in sputter target quality combined with developments in alternative materials to increase solar cell efficiency. PV panels manufactured with Heterojunction Technology (HJT) have been gaining steam over the last decade. The technology is currently the solar industry’s best option to increase efficiency and power output to their highest levels by combining the best qualities of crystalline silicon with those from amorphous silicon thin-film.

Vital Thin Film Materials (VTFM) produces a full range of high-quality PVD sputter targets and evaporation materials for solar cell applications. Common target materials include amorphous silicon (a-Si), CdTe, CdSe, CdTeZn, CdS, and CIGS, complimented by high-purity Cu, In, Ga, Se, and Te evaporation materials.
