Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing operator who operates manufacturing equipment for solar cell elements in a clean room, performing tasks from material processing to inspection and quality control.
Description
Solar cell element manufacturing workers use silicon wafers or thin film materials to perform processes such as CVD, PVD, photolithography, etching, diffusion, and annealing in a clean room environment. They are responsible for startup adjustment of manufacturing equipment, management of process conditions, data collection and analysis for yield improvement, product inspection, and quality control. In case of equipment trouble, they perform initial response and are also involved in new equipment introduction and process improvement. Compliance with safety, health, and clean room rules is essential.
Future Outlook
Demand is increasing with the expansion of the renewable energy sector. While advanced skills are required due to automation and AI control introduction, a shortage of labor is expected to continue.
