Sencera was formed in 2003 as a plasma source hardware company targeting the Thin Film Transistor and Integrated Circuit Industries. The Company demonstrated process expertise for a variety of materials using proprietary plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Specifically, Sencera deposits large area (1.2 * 1.0 meter) uniform films on glass and plastic substrates at low process temperatures. This attracted the interest of the Solar Energy Industry. In December 2006, Sencera shifted all resources to thin film solar cell development. In November 2007, the Company accepted a $3.6 million investment from the Quercus Trust. Today, Sencera is focused on the production of deposited thin film amorphous Silicon modules. Full production is expected to begin in the summer of 2009.
