Abstract
CIS technologies have emerged from the laboratory. Hand crafted construction of a few small devices has given way to practical methods essential to the continuous manufacturing of large modules in high volumes. This paper surveys the present status of CIS production technology as employed at Shell Solar and reviews in detail a number of the methods developed during the transition to volume manufacturing.
