TALK ABSTRACT

Cima's cutting edge Self-Aligning Nano Technology for Electronics (SANTE™) Coatings for flat panel displays, solar cells, and other printed electronic applications are poised to allow next generation technology to be used today - while creating a cleaner, greener and safer world for tomorrow.

Cima's patented SANTE^TM films use a self-assembled microstructure of silver nanoparticles as a high transparency (aperture) & high conductance photovoltaic cell front electrodes. This novel coating material with high transparency, conductivity and flexibility could greatly improve the conversion efficiency and reduce the PV fabrication cost..
