Natcore Technology Inc. announced that it has received CAD 0.98 million in funding.

Natcore Technology, Inc. (Natcore) is a research and development company focusing on solar cells. The Company's primary technology is laser-processed back-contact cells. Natcore offers a liquid phase deposition (LPD) technology, which enables the controlled deposition of silicon dioxide and mixed silicon oxides from an aqueous solution at ambient temperatures and pressures. Using LPD and black silicon, Natcore grows a thin anti-reflective coating on a silicon disc without the need for toxic chemicals or a high-temperature vacuum furnace. Natcore is focused on using its nanotechnology discoveries to enable various applications, including laser processing, tandem quantum-dot solar cells and its all-back-contact silicon heterojunction (HIT) cell structure. Natcore's process uses highly defined regions of heavily doped silicon to form a base contact of the solar cell.
