High-Speed Wafer Slicer
Abstract
Multiblade cutter slices silicon ingots into solar-cell wafers quickly and with little waste. Speed and blade pressure ensure high wafer-production rate. Lightweight, balanced construction minimizes blade vibration and reduces sideways motion that would otherwise widen kerf and waste silicon.
