A Strong R&D Team
Since the establishment, Maxwell determines to be dedicated to independent innovation, takes
the domestication of core equipment as its own responsibility, regards key technological and
scientific research personnel as the cornerstone of business development,
and has cultivated and solidified an industry-leading innovation team. The team is based on
young and middle-aged talents, which comprises more than 1777 R&D personnel with rich
experience in mechanical engineering design, semiconductor
technology, material physics, optoelectronic technology, electrical engineering and
automation, including a cluster of senior doctors and masters, senior engineers, etc.
The R&D team of
Maxwell consists of the PECVD vacuum equipment R&D unit, PVD vacuum equipment R&D unit,
screen printing equipment R&D unit, laser equipment R&D unit and semiconductor thin-film
process technology R&D unit, etc., and has undertaken
a number of national-level and provincial-level science and technology projects.
In
2023, the Company's R&D investment is RMB 763 million, accounting for more than 9.44% of the
operating income. With persistent investment
in scientific research, Maxwell has attained a core competitiveness in the field of high-end
equipment manufacturing, which lays a solid ground for the development of Maxwell in the
three major industries of PV, display and
semiconductor.
Set Up Four Major Laboratory Platforms
HJT high-efficiency solar cell laboratory, module technology laboratory,
analysis test and detection center, laser laboratory. The total area of the laboratories
is about 10,000 square meters, the total investment of the laboratories
is nearly RMB 300 million, with more than 100 sets of experimental and testing equipment.
HJT High-efficiency Solar Cell Laboratory
With a complete pilot line for HJT high-efficiency solar cells, the laboratory can quickly carry out the independent design and development of PECVD, PVD and other equipment, the demonstration and optimization of core components, and the process upgrade of cell technology and complete line process.
Module Technology Laboratory
The laboratory can independently complete the manufacturing and electrical performance testing of HJT high-efficiency modules, which is of great significance for the reliability test of PV modules and the process optimization of HJT modules.
Analytical Test Center
The center can independently test and analyze the performance of amorphous silicon films, TCO films and other advanced films and raw materials for the R&D of high-efficiency cell equipment technologies and the optimization of the complete line production processes.
Laser Laboratory
The laboratory can independently carry out the R&D of OLED film laser equipment, Mini/Micro LED wafer equipment, semiconductor wafer equipment and the optimization of process and solutions.
