SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES Announces Commissioning of First SINGULAR Coating
Machine for Silicon Solar Cells at End Customer's Production

• Commissioning successfully completed

• Solar cells achieve excellent efficiency

Kahl am Main, February 16, 2010 - SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES (SINGULUS)
successfully commissioned the first SINGULAR inline coating machine for
anti-reflective coating of silicon solar cells at a European customer. The
cells produced with a SINGULAR machine achieve excellent efficiency. In
addition, the cells are characterized by a very homogenous coloring. The
SINGULUS inline coating machine is used in production lines for the
manufacturing of silicon solar cells.

The machine integration know-how, which SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES has acquired
in the automation of CD, DVD and Blu-ray Disc production machines, was an
optimum starting point for the development of the new SINGULAR plant.

The anti-reflective layer is an important element in the production process
of solar cells and ties directly to value-added chain from STANGL's LINEA
machine. LINEA is a new inline plant for wet-chemical treatment of
crystalline solar wafers. SINGULUS developed a modular, fully-automated
handling system for silicon wafers for the integration of wet-chemical and
vacuum coating processes, which connects STANGL's LINEA machine with the
SINGULAR equipment offered by SINGULUS.

In the future, SINGULUS and STANGL will not only supply individual machines
and equipment, but also complete systems with process know-how. This
decision applies to the area of silicon solar cells in particular. Here,
the company will offer machines for front-end applications as well as for
the complete production cycle in the future.

The goal is to attain a leading market position relating to production
equipment for solar cells in the next couple of years.
