China PV Standards Committee Petition to NA Regional Standards Committee SEMICON West 2011 October 23, 2011
Contents • Background • Endorsement from China Industry • Charter/Scope • Working Group Members • Action Plan • Proposal to NARSC
China PV Working Group Request NARSC Approval Formation of “China PV Technical Committee” (Charter, Scope, Co-chairs agreed.)
Background • SEMI Standards are manufacturing needs-oriented through the whole solar industry supply chain. • China PV industry has expressed its strong interest in the SEMI Standards platform to look for consensus on materials, equipment and production-related issues. • This extension will enrich SEMI Standards PV activities and facilitate the deployment ofSEMI Standards in PV materials, wafer, cells, modules, systems and equipment, since manufacturing standards often depend on product and materials standards. • Based on well-known semiconductor production experience, China PV industry (No.1 in world, 2010) will also actively contribute to SEMI PV Standards activities. • China Photovoltaic Industry Alliance(CPIA) has pledged to support the new China SEMI PV TC

Regional Participation • Increase the participation of all regions of the world in the generation and promotion of SEMI Standards, thereby ensuring that SEMI Standards represent an international consensus. • Develop and maintain SEMI Standards procedures to promote communication and interaction among all levels of the organization and amongst the various geographical regions.
Co-chairs Mrs. Jun Liu Deputy Director of China Electronics Standardization Institute Secretary-general of The semiconductor Equipment and Material Standardization Technical Committee Mr. Guangchun Zhang Senior Vice President of Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd. China
Charter of [China] Photovoltaic Standards Committee To explore, evaluate, discuss, and create consensus-based standard measurement methods, specifications, guidelines, and practices that, through voluntary compliance, will: • promote mutual understanding and improved communication between users and suppliers of photovoltaic manufacturing equipment, materials and services worldwide, and • enhance the manufacturing efficiency and capability and shorten time-to-market so as to reduce total cost per kilowatt hour of the global photovoltaic (PV) industry.
Scope of [China] Photovoltaic Standards Committee To include liaisons and synergies with other SEMI technical committees for the development of PV-related standards. The PV standards committee scope will include but notbe limited to exploring and developing standards that pertain to common criteria, guidelines, methods for control and comparison of PV-related process / metrology equipment, materials, components, or manufacturing operations in whole solar supply chain. It will also seek to support the international need for increasing PV product / process yield and reducing related PV costs per Watt peak. In addition to the above, the committee will also facilitate any industry initiatives towards product standardization needs.
Local PV Standards Priorities • Specification and test method of key materials used in PV silicon/wafer/cell and module • Specification and test method for key performance/quality/reliability indicators of PV cell, module and system • EHS guild line for PV silicon/wafer/cell/module factories
SNARF in the Pipeline • Specification for Packaging Materials for PV Modules(Trina) • Test Methods for EVA(poly ethylene-vinyl acetate) Used in PV Modules(Trina) • Guide for Identifying Quality of Monocrystalline Silicon Ingots • Test Methods for Multicrystalline Silicon Ingots
