Picosun SUNALE™ ALD process tools for nanoscale coatings – seamless transition from R&D to industrial production

Toivola M., Soininen P.J., Lehto T., Pilvi T., Picosun Oy, FI

Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) offers a superior way to coat highly conformal, uniform, pinhole and defect free thin films on even the most challenging nanoscale architectures. The technique has tremendous potential in several fields of [...]

ALD for sustainable future – building a cleaner world from sub-nanometer level

Toivola M., Pilvi T., Picosun Oy, FI

Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) offers a superior way to coat highly conformal, uniform, pinhole and defect free thin films on even the most challenging nanoscale architectures. The technique is already widely in use in e.g. [...]

Large area optimized thin film nano solar cells on metal sheets

Toivola M., Peltola T., Miettunen K., Halme J., Aitola K., Lund P.D., Helsinki University of Technology, FI

We have upscaled stainless steel based dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) from small, 0.32 cm2 active area laboratory sized test cells to 6 cm x 6 cm large area ”minimodule”. This is a continuation to our [...]

Thin nanostructured solar cells on metal sheets

Toivola M., Miettunen K., Halme J., Lund P., Helsinki University of Technology, FI

We have studied direct integration of nanostructured, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) on industrial sheet metals, used e.g. as building materials. To demonstrate an all-flexible, roll-to-roll producable and mechanically stable DSC, counter electrodes made of platinized [...]
