The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Amtech Systems, Inc. (Amtech) to develop a plasma charging method which introduces charges on dielectric passivation film in solar photovoltaic (PV) applications. The project would seek to optimize the technology and address previously identified performance issues. The project would be split into three Budget Periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between each BP.
