Applied Materials and IITB partner in solar energy
IITB and Applied Materials, Inc. will broaden the scope of their ongoing research collaboration to develop new energy-related initiatives. Applied Materials will donate three process chambers to IIT Bombay, a leader in education and research, for depositing thin films on solar cells using physical vapor deposition (PVD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technologies. As a symbolic representation of its commitment to clean technology and a sustainable future, Applied Materials will also donate a solar panel system to IIT Bombay. The panels will be connected to energy-efficient LEDs that will light the University's main avenue of IIT campus at Powai.
IIT Bombay and Applied Materials, Inc. announced that they will broaden the scope of their ongoing research collaboration to develop new energy-related initiatives. As part of this collaboration, Applied Materials, world's largest supplier of equipment to the semiconductor and photovoltaic industries, will donate three process chambers to IIT Bombay, a leader in education and research, for depositing thin films on solar cells using physical vapor deposition (PVD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technologies.
Applied Materials will also work with IIT Bombay research teams to set up a wet chemistry laboratory for developing new materials. These materials will be used for a variety of renewable energy-focused applications, including the fabrication of next-generation solar cells.
