| In the area of silicon solar technology SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES delivered in November 2009 the first SINGULAR inline coating machine for anti-reflective coating of silicon solar cells as well as STANGL's newly developed inline cleaning system LINEA with the corresponding fully-automated wafer handling system. The company's goal with respect to silicon solar technology is to assume a leading position in the market by launching new production technologies. In the future SINGULUS will not only supply individual machines and equipment for the silicon solar technology but will also actively market so-called front end systems as well as complete production systems for the cell production with process know-how in the solar market. SINGULUS and STANGL already possess the fundamental expertise for wet-chemical and AR-coating processes. This enhancement of the business model from single machines towards systems was also successful in the Optical Disc market some years ago. | |  |
