Applied Materials日前发布声明称，SunFab串联结构薄膜太阳能技术并未侵犯瑞士University of Neuchatel专利号为No. EP 0 871 979的专利。
Applied Materials的太阳能电池制造工艺及串联结构是在公司的研发结果，拥有产权。SunFab生产线是唯一一条可以在5.7平方米超大玻璃板上生产薄膜太阳能模组的生产线。
Applied Materials Releases Statement Regarding its SunFab? Thin Film Solar Technology
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Applied Materials, Inc. today released the following statement regarding its thin film solar technology:
Applied Materials believes that its SunFab thin film solar tandem junction technology does not infringe European Patent No. EP 0 871 979 issued to the University of Neuchatel (the "Neuchatel patent"). Applied Materials' unique and proprietary manufacturing process and tandem junction cell structure are the result of substantial research and development. The SunFab line is the only integrated production line for manufacturing thin film solar modules using ultra-large 5.7 m2 glass panels.
Applied Materials' belief of non-infringement is based in part on differences between the SunFab tandem junction technology (as verified by scientific analyses such as Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy) and the claims of the Neuchatel patent.
In addition, the Neuchatel patent is already the subject of four separate opposition proceedings in the European Patent Office challenging its validity, based on prior art that was not disclosed or considered during the European patent examination process.
Applied Materials, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMAT) is the global leader in Nanomanufacturing Technology? solutions with a broad portfolio of innovative equipment, services and software products for the fabrication of semiconductor chips, flat panels, solar photovoltaic cells, flexible electronics and energy efficient glass. At Applied Materials, we apply Nanomanufacturing Technology to improve the way people live. Learn more at ww.appliedmaterials.com.
