TOUCAN Evolution
Development of process and manufacturing techniques for ‘tunnel oxides under contacts on n-type silicon solar cells’, progressing gradually towards industrial production
Sub-project: Numerical simulations of wet-chemistry carrier and glass carrier designs
The aim of the project is to further develop TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) technology so that it is internationally competitive in industrial manufacturing, thereby securing the long-term availability of machinery, processes and expertise for high-performance photovoltaic production in Europe. Against the backdrop of ambitious expansion targets in the field of renewable energies, relocating and strengthening value creation in solar cell and module manufacturing is of central importance.

Preventative hygiene measures: Air disinfection using UVC technology
In the context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, healthcare facilities in particular must remain open even whilst strict protective measures are in place. Innovative hygiene concepts are required to prevent these venues from contributing to a further rise in infection rates.

HTWK Project | Simulation of indoor air flow and air quality
Calculating the risk of infection indoors with pinpoint accuracy
The research group led by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stephan Schönfelder has developed a simulation model for the spatial and temporal distribution of virus concentrations caused by air flows in enclosed spaces. These new computational approaches enable a better understanding of the risk of infection for each individual indoors, thereby making an important contribution to the fight against pandemics.

SmartKMU | Smart simulation tools for process digitalisation in small and medium-sized enterprises in the manufacturing sector
Early-Career Research Group | Start: January 2020
The interdisciplinary early-career research group SmartKMU is developing simulation tools for the manufacturing industry that are designed to run on conventional computers. Their application example is the cardboard embossing process, which is important for the packaging industry. SmartKMU is funded by the Saxon Ministry of Science with funding from the European Social Fund (ESF).
