The process for obtaining a polycrystalline silicon ingot requires a high level of technical mastery. This sector, which is still young and is experiencing major growth, needs the support of all specialists at every stage of the wafers manufacturing process.

ECM Technologies 's History in the PV Industry

2009	New ECM Technologies 400 Photovoltaic Furnace Installation of the 400kg ingot furnace in a French National Laboratory for: - optimization of the process for various silicon feedstock quality - size increase of the ingot to 500kg - new crucible coatings to increase the ingot quality
2008	First tests of the 400kg ingot furnace are scheduled in Winter
2007	Designed 400kg ingot furnace
2001-2004	22 furnaces installed at Deutsche Solar
1997	Designed first 240kg ingot furnace for Photowatt
1983	Designed of polycrystalline 60kg ingot furnace
