TAIPEI, Taiwan -- AxunTek Solar Energy, the first company in Taiwan to have developed cutting-edge CIGS thin-film technology for green energy, is set to upgrade and expand its production of CIGS thin-film solar cells and related products in a new plant, company officials said Friday.
The Export Processing Zone Administration (EPZA) under the Ministry of Economic Affairs gave the green light that day to a new investment plan proposed by AxunTek to build a manufacturing plant at an EPZ in the southernmost county of Pingtung for expanded research and production of CIGS thin-film solar cells.
Under the plan, AxunTek will invest NT$6.99 billion (US$212.43 million) for the expansion of CIGS thin-film solar cell research and production, according to the EPZA.
AxunTek unveiled Taiwan's first CIGS thin-film solar cell and technology last year at the International Photovoltaic Forum and Exhibition.
CIGS is a compound semiconductor material composed of copper,indium, gallium and selenium that is used as light-absorbent material for thin-film solar cells.
Panels that harvest energy using CIGS cost far less to make and install than traditional solar panels, which is an important consideration in the face of traditional fossil-based energy drying up and prices skyrocketing.
Axuntek's mission is to help upgrade the solar industry in Taiwan, which is expected to play a critical role in an era in which renewable and low-pollution energy will be in high demand, said corporate founder Lin Fei-lung.
"Our team's development includes research into high-efficiency CIGS thin-film solar cells, components, process integration, research into in-line deposition systems, packaging processes for CIGS thin-film and related equipment," Lin added.
铟比铅还毒。美国和英国已公布了铟的职业接触限值均为0.1 mg/m3[11]。而这两个国家铅的标准为0.15 mg/m3。说明铟的毒性不可轻视。液晶显示器含有铟,据新华社消息,28岁的黄力(化名)就职于江苏一家生产手机液晶显示屏的企业,主要工作是将一些金属粉喷在液晶屏幕模板上.工作两年后,他经常呼吸困难、 喘不过气来,检查发现肺部布满雪花状的白色颗粒物.经过半年多时间的医学循征,呼吸科专家认为,黄力是罕见的铟中毒,他血液里的铟是常规的300倍。黄力肺里的粉尘颗粒无法抽出,所以肺部功能很难恢复,而且还在不断地自我排出蛋白质。所以每隔一个月就要到医院进行一次全肺灌洗,否则就可能旧病复发,有生命危险。
