About us

VON ARDENNE provides industrial equipment for vacuum coatings on materials such as glass, wafers, metal strip and polymer films.

The major international manufacturers of crystalline and thin-film solar modules use our highly productive equipment for their production. We are also cooperating closely with them to develop the next generation of modules.

We have acquired an excellent process know-how based on the more than 300 coating systems we have installed for crystalline solar cells and thin-film solar module providers. This expertise has been incorporated into the development of coating systems for the next generations of high-efficiency solar cells.

Products & Services

Electricity is a prerequisite for prosperity and progress. And electrical energy from renewable sources such as photovoltaics has become an essential building block in the energy mix. According to all forecasts, photovoltaics will be expanded to a much greater extent in the coming years.

The focus will be on two factors: higher productivity and increasing the efficiency of converting sunlight into electricity. At the same time, this increase in productivity and efficiencies must be accompanied by resource-conserving use of the necessary materials.

Contribution to the expansion of photovoltaics

Our contribution is highly productive vacuum coating equipment, which our customers use to manufacture solar cells or solar modules. The systems are tailored to their requirements and are suitable for different materials and formats. And they are scalable, meaning that processes from research and pilot production can be transferred to larger plants for mass production.

Major international manufacturers of crystalline and thin-film solar modules use our equipment for their production. They benefit from our experience and expertise as market leader.

We work closely with our customers to develop the next generation of modules that will be even more efficient.

We offer vacuum coating solutions for the following applications:

  • Building-integrated Photovoltaics

  • Thin-Film Photovoltaics

  • IBC Solar Cells

  • Heterojunction Solar Cells

  • Topcon Solar Cells

  • Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells

GIGANOVA Wafer Coating System

If you are looking for highly productive coating systems for solar cell production with an annual capacity of up to 1.3 gigawatts, the GIGANOVA horizontal wafer coating system is the perfect choice. There is no comparable carrier-based system on the market with a higher throughput.

The inline coating system is based on our patented coating technology for large substrate areas. The system is very wide and can therefore process many substrates simultaneously. It is therefore particularly suitable for applications with high productivity at very low costs and is suitable for single- as well as double-sided wafer coating.

Thanks to its modular design, the GIGANOVA can be equipped with magnetrons with rotating targets for single-sided sputter deposition or with linear evaporators for thermal evaporation.

The GIGANOVA benefits from the experience we have gained in delivering more than 300 coating systems for high-volume production to companies in the photovoltaic industry.

XEANOVA L Wafer Coating System

If you are looking for a highly productive and flexible production system combined with proven technology and design, the XEANOVA L is the perfect choice.

The inline coating system is based on our patented coating technology for large substrate areas. The system is wide and can therefore process many substrates simultaneously. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for applications with high productivity at very low costs. With the XEANOVA L, you can coat silicon wafers or other small substrates. It is also suitable for very thin substrates.

Thanks to its modular design, the XEANOVA L can be equipped with rotatable magnetrons for the sputter deposition of high performance TCO layers or various other materials such as metals and metal oxides. It can also be adapted for other deposition technologies. Substrates can also be pre-treated in the system by cleaning or etching, either under vacuum or before entering the  vacuum.

HISS Horizontal Coating System

The HISS is a modular coating system for the horizontal coating of substrates. It is the perfect choice if you are looking for highly flexible production equipment with a small or medium throughput equipped with proven technology.

Thanks to its modular design, the HISS can be configured according to your needs. We offer various basic configurations of the system such as the single-ended version for a smaller production scale.

The system offers a high process flexibility for sputter processes and evaporation processes as well as various pre- and post-treatment methods.

The flexible and dynamic design of the system with standardized modules enables custom-made configurations. That means that the system can be adapted to new processes or requirements. Therefore, our customers are able to act very dynamically and can adapt to the evolution of their product.
