Egyesulet (KPE) -- a high-growth, solar-cell original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) -- has ordered multiple RF and DC power-delivery
systems for integration into their plasma-enhanced, chemical vapor
deposition (PECVD) and physical vapor deposition (PVD) solar-cell
manufacturing equipment. The orders call for AE to provide 50 MW of
solar-cell production capacity in 2006. AE has already delivered
power supplies for systems with a capacity of 15 MW so far this
year. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20030825/AEISLOGO
) "We were looking for a power systems partner with whom we could
enjoy a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship. AE is that
company," noted the KPE's General Manager, Attila Horvath. "Because
we sell complete solar-cell manufacturing equipment to companies in
Thailand, China, Vietnam as well as other countries, it is critical
that we work with a company possessing a strong and responsive
global sales and support infrastructure. AE's power delivery
systems contribute to our success by providing the repeatability
and reliability that enable us to meet the increasing global demand
for solar-cell equipment." Dr. Hans Betz, president and CEO of AE,
explained, "We are very pleased with the multi-system orders that
will supply 50 MW capacity to this valued customer. As the
solar-cell market segment grows, AE is well positioned with
technology solutions that enable our global customers to benefit
from continued industry growth. We look forward to furthering our
relationship with KPE by providing advanced technology and global
support to enhance their business success in the high-growth
solar-cell markets." The AE Power Systems Cesar RF generators are
designed to meet demanding, plasma process requirements. They are
available in a wide variety of frequencies (from 2 to 60 MHz) and a
wide variety of power levels (from 300 W to 5 kW). Both
water-cooled and air-cooled models are available. Standard features
