Dr Vincent Barrioz, Senior Research Lecturer in CSER presented a keynote invited talk at the 17th International Conference on Metal- Organic Vapour Phase Epitaxy in Lausanne, Switzerland last week. The title of the presentation was “MOCVD for solar cells, a transition towards a chamberless inline process” and described some ground breaking work on a new process for high volume manufacture of semiconductor thin films which has been carried out on the SPARC and the CIPAM project. This was very well received by the international audience and Vincent received many very positive comments following the talk.
