研究目的
Investigating the feasibility of the MPAT process on the as-cut c-Si wafers to reduce the size of textures, minimize c-Si etched losses, and keep robust property during cell fabrication.
研究成果
The MPAT process significantly reduces the texture size, processing time, and c-Si loss compared to the conventional process, making it suitable for low-cost and high-performance thin c-Si solar cells. High-quality surface passivation and low optical reflectivity were achieved, indicating the process's potential for improving solar cell efficiency.
研究不足
The study does not explore the long-term stability or scalability of the MPAT process for industrial applications. The effect of varying microparticle sizes or concentrations on the texturing process is not investigated.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study compares the conventional alkaline texturing process with the MPAT process, which involves mixing glass microparticles with the alkaline solution.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
n-type as-cut c-Si (100) wafers with a thickness ~120?170 μm and a saw-damaged layer (SDL) with a depth <6 μm were used.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
SEM HITACHI S-4500 for observation, spectrometer UV-3150 by Shimadzu Corp for reflectivity measurements, and KOBELCO LTA-1510EP analyzer for minority carrier lifetimes.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The c-Si wafers were dipped into the texturing solutions for various etching times, and the texture size, optical reflectivity, and surface passivation quality were measured.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The texture size was estimated from SEM images, and the optical and electrical properties were analyzed using the respective equipment.
