Název projektu:
Non-Vacuum Process for Forming Thin-Film Transparent Electrodes (11 LU 87GA 3NEY)
Popis:
A large US company is looking for proposals for non-vacuum process for forming thin-film transparent electrodes with low electric resistance value and high light transmittance for use in solar cells.
They are interested in licensing, joint/contract development.
The company is conducting research and development into materials and process technologies related to thin-film transparent electrodes for solar cells. At the present time, thin-film transparent electrodes are manufactured mainly by vacuum deposition processes. However, in order to create the vacuum environment, the equipment must be larger and the process more complicated, so that the manufacturing cost tends to be higher.
Therefore, technologies for manufacturing thin-film transparent electrodes with non-vacuum processes are being researched widely, aiming at applications for electronic products such as organic EL displays and solar cells.
However, with a non-vacuum process, it is difficult to manufacture an electrode with the functionality similar to that obtained with a vacuum process. The company has also investigated the use of various non-vacuum processes, but has not been able to find a technology that has sufficient functionality.
Therefore, they have issued this request for technology in order to further accelerate their technology development and achieve early commercialization. The client anticipates acquiring technologies from organizations that already have the necessary technology, as well as receiving promising development proposals based on joint development or contract development.
Possible approaches include, but are not limited to:
-Technologies related to the electrode material:
Metal oxides such as ITO and ZnO
Carbon-based materials such are CNTs and graphene
-Technologies related to the film formation process
Coating that improve the electrode's density
Plating that improve the electrode's homogeneity.
Technical Specifications / Specific technical requirements:
The requirements for the electrodes:
-Specific electric resistance: =1.3x10-3 ?cm
Electrodes with a thickness of approximately 500nm and a sheet resistance =10?/? are anticipated
-Light transmittance: average transmittance for light with a wavelength from 500nm to 1000nm =85%
-Electrode shape: no pattern
Methods that form a mesh using metal particles are not considered
-Material: RoHs compliant.
The requirements for the process for forming the electrodes:
-Film formation method: non-vacuum
-Process temperature: =200°C
-Film formation speed: satisfy either of the following and have feasibility to scale up or speed up
Deposition speed: =300nm/s
Line speed: =4m/min.
In this request, the required specifications for the thin-film transparent electrodes are extremely high. Therefore, even if the requirements are not satisfied at the present time, proposals are welcomed if it is possible to clearly provide a development plan that can achieve the requirements within three years.
They are interested in licensing, joint/contract development.

Požadavky na partnera:
Requested Cooperation: License Agreement, Joint further development
Responses from companies (large or small, startups, etc.), hospital or academic researchers, contract research institutes, pharmacologists, nutritionists, medicinal chemists, drug formulators, biochemists, physiologists, alternative or traditional medicine providers, etc., from around the world are all welcome.
The client will ask further questions concerning promising proposals and then perform a primary screening in order to select multiple respondents to proceed to detailed investigation. After this selection, the client will sign non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with the respondent, seek further information disclosure, and discuss specific development approaches. The client will perform a detailed evaluation of the proposals, such as through discussions after sample evaluation or direct visits.
Then the client will sign contracts with the selected respondents for licensing, joint development or contract development, and, as necessary, perform proof of technology and additional development, in order to establish the technology. The specifics of the collaborative system will be decided through discussions.
With regard to the timeline, it is anticipated that proof of concept focusing on commercialization will require three years. After that, a development period of approximately three years is anticipated to establish an industrialized technology.
Note that this profile requires a convincing solution proposal. Please contact your local EEN to get the Response template and find more information on the specific process here: http://www.us-eu-match.com/index.cfm?action=processFlow
