SINTON CONSULTING, INC.

Sinton Instruments provides test and measurement instruments for use in Silicon PV manufacturing and R&D that are used at each stage of the solar cell production process. The initial quality of bricks or ingots can be assessed by our unique carrier-lifetime testing instruments. We have lifetime-test instruments for process control and optimization at the as-cut wafer stage and for characterizing the final wafer and surface passivation quality after the high-temperature phosphorus diffusion steps. For the solar cell back-end processes, we provide cell-test and module testing capabilities. Each of these applications involves state-of-the-art analysis including our Suns-Voc testing methodologies.
