- Natcore Technology Inc. (NTCXF) develops advanced nanotechnology-based technologies for low-cost, high-efficiency solar cell manufacturing. The company offers proprietary liquid phase deposition (LPD) processes enabling room-temperature growth of silicon oxides on wafers; Natcore Foil Cell, an all-back-contact heterojunction structure that eliminates high-cost silver metallization using aluminum foils and selective carrier contacts; black silicon cells; laser-processed back-contact cells; and tandem quantum-dot solar cells, with historical demonstration efficiencies exceeding 20% including 20.7% confirmed results. It also provides technical consultancy services for designing and constructing solar cell fabrication facilities, solar panel assembly lines, and solar power plants. Natcore licenses core technology from Rice University and maintains a portfolio of patents supporting applications in solar, semiconductors, and fiber optics, targeting silicon wafer producers, module assemblers, and manufacturers in North America, Europe, and Asia. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Delray Beach, Florida, with R&D operations in Rochester, New York, the company operates primarily in the renewable energy sector. Recent developments include streamlined fabrication processes for the Natcore Foil Cell announced in March 2018 to accelerate ultra-high-efficiency production; a November 2018 memorandum of understanding for a merger with a medical technology firm to diversify into medtech and health services, which included a proposed 1:10 reverse stock split and leadership changes; and ongoing efforts to secure licensing partnerships and pilot programs with industry players.
