RCT i-Side
higher reflectivity at lower etch depth
RCT i-Side
Edge isolation, polishing and PSG / BSG removal
for multi and mono Si wafers
RCT i-Side with its improved process sequence enables high efficiency cell technologies such as PERC, n-type or Bifacial. RCT i-Side polishes wafer with highest reflectivity at cost effective etch depths. lt is optimized for lowest CoO by low chemical consumption, stable processes and small footprint.

Advantages
- Improved hydrodynamics of etch bath allows higher refliectivity at lower etch depth for PERC cells,
saving 60% of consumables - Patended process sequence with pre-treatment, rinse and junction isolation / polishing
- Optimized cost of ownership: up to 30% reduced DI water consumption and compact footprint by
integration of chiller into main module - Best in class productivity: less than one hour for bath change and unique quick-lock system of
spray bars for easy and fast maintenance - Advanced alkaline cleaning design to avoid KOH contamination
- Surface near frequent chemical exchange for high-performance metal impurity cleaning
