Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar cells have been fabricated from unconventional silicon materials in the second and final phase of the contract. In the most recent period of work, EFG, Web, Hem, and Continuous CZ silicon materials were fabricated into solar cells, measured and analyzed. Current-voltage measurements under AM1 conditions, in addition to those under AMO conditions, were introduced in Phase II. Several low-cost fabrication steps were included in that phase. Both Hem and Continuous CZ silicon were found to be superior to what had been provided in Phase I. Correlation between quality of starting materials and cell conversion efficiency was observed for Hem-grown silicon. Correlation between position in the crystal growth sequence and cell quality was observed for Continuous CZ.

This book was released on 1980 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progress in fabrication and characterization of solar cells from EFG ribbons and HEM ingots is reported. EFG ribbons grown in carbon-containing gas atmosphere showed improved sheet quality. This new EFG provided an average baseline cell efficiency of 10.3% under AM1 (as opposed to 8.0% for the earlier EFG). The best efficiency achieved by the advanced process was 13.8% AM1. Evaluation of two ingots from the HEM process indicated that HEM has a problem of inhomogeneity in sheet quality within each of the two ingots studied to data.

Book excerpt: Work has progressed in fabrication and characterization of solar cells from UCP wafers and LASS ribbons. Gettering tests applied to UCP wafers made little change on their performance compared with corresponding baseline data. Advanced processes such as SJ, BSF, and MLAR were also applied. While BSF by Al paste had shunting problems, cells with SJ and BSF by evaporated Al, and MLAR did achieve 14.1% AM1 on UCP silicon. The study of LASS material was very preliminary. Only a few cells with SJ, BSR, (no BSF) and MLAR were completed due to mechanical yield problems after lapping the material. Average efficiency was 10.7% AM1 with 13.4% AM1 for CZ controls. Relatively high minority carrier diffusion lengths were obtained. The lower than expected Jsc could be partially explained by low active area due to irregular sizes.

This book was released on 1979 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar cells have been fabricated from unconventional silicon materials supplied in the Large Area Sheet Task of the Low Cost Solar Array Project. The cells were constructed using methods intended to optimize the efficiency, as well as by a standard method intended to act as a baseline procedure. Following fabrication, all cells have been measured on the Spectrolab Solar Simulator at Air Mass Zero and 28/sup 0/C. Conversion efficiencies are based upon total device area. Maximum conversion efficiency obtained for Kayex continuous CZ material has been 12.4% (optimized), for Crystal Systems HEM material 11.2% (optimized), for Mobil Tyco EFG (RH) 8.4% (baseline) and EFG (RF) 9.8% (baseline), for Westinghouse Web material 12.0% (optimized), for Motorola RTR 7.2% (baseline), and for Wacker Silso 10.6% (baseline). All of these materials are from Phase I of the Contract. Phase II of the contract has started with Mobil-Tyco EFG (RH) material. Following fabrication by the baseline method this material, as well as the others in the program, will be fabricated using low-cost processing methods.

This book was released on 1980 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar cells were fabricated from EFG (RH) ribbons from multiple dies, silicon on ceramic (SOC), dendritic web, cast silicon by HEM, and semi-continuous CZ from both VARIAN and HAMCO. Baseline and improved solar cells were made from the sheets. Baseline solar cells processed in both Phase I and Phase II, involving cells from EFG, SOC, dendritic web, and HEM, indicated that no significant improvement in silicon sheet quality has been achieved in Phase II. Solar cells from semi-continuous CZ showed cell performance close to the conventional CZ control cells, although the cells from the semi-continuous CZ have shown wider performance range because of variation in crystalline perfection. Generally, process upgrading provided improvement in cell performance, the improvement depending on the process used and the quality of the sheet silicon. Study of the effect of grain size on solar cell performance suggested that the minimum grain size to make solar cells of 10% AMO efficiency is about 500 .mu.m, which is expected to provide minimum module efficiency of 10% AMI. If other harmful impurities are added in the process of sheet growth, the minimum grain size must be increased. The BSF study showed that the higher the resistivity of the starting substrates, the greater the relative improvement in cell performance, probably because of greater shift in Fermi levels at the back L/H junction (pp+) and also because of the higher initial values of minority carrier diffusion length. This study also suggested that proper control of the back-surface field (BSF) process could minimize the junction shunting problems often introduced by the BSF processing.

This book was released on 1979 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This program investigates, develops and utilizes technologies appropriate and necessary for improving the efficiency of solar cells made from various unconventional silicon sheet materials. During this reporting period, work has progressed in fabrication and characterization of solar cells from EFG (RH) multi-ribbon, dendritic webs and cast silicon by HEM. Solar cells were fabricated using various process modifications, such as shallow junction formation, BSF, back surface reflector (BSR), surface etching and texturizing, gettering by mechanical damage and diffusion glass and grain boundary passivation. The solar cell parameters measured included open circuit voltage, short circuit current, curve fill factor, and conversion efficiency (all taken under AMO illumination). Additional measurements under AM1 conditions have been included, for direct evaluation and to collect information on the AM1/AM0 conversion factors for the various sheet materials. Also, measurement for typical cells included spectral response and minority carrier diffusion length. The obtained results were compared to the properties of cells made from conventional single crystalline Czochralski silicon with an emphasis on statistical-evaluation. Increased emphasis was given toward modifying the process to yield increased performance.

This book was released on 1980 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar cells were fabricated from HEM (Crystal Systems), SOC (Honeywell) and semi-continuous CZ wafers (HAMCO), and their performance was characterized. Shallow junction, BSF and gettering steps were applied on HEM wafers, resulting in significant enhancement in carrier collection (Jsc) by the gettering process. Improvement in efficiency was achieved on SOC solar cells by increasing active area of the cells (Photoresist techniques were used instead of metal shadow mask). Standard HAMCO solar cells were fabricated on wafers from one of HAMCO's 100kg continuous runs. Performance of the solar cells, as a function of ingot growth sequence and position within the ingots, indicated; (1) single crystalline HAMCO cells showed efficiency the same as conventional CZ control cells (usually even higher efficiencies were observed), (2) no significant performance degradation was observed on the cells from the last grown ingot, and (3) cells made from poly crystalline sections indicated lower conversion efficiency. The BSF study showed that the higher the resistivity of the starting substrates, the greater the relative improvement in cell performance, probably because of greater shift in Fermi levels at the back L/H junction (pp/sup +/) and the higher values of initial minority carrier diffusion length. This study also suggested that proper control of the BSF process could minimize the junction shunting problems.

This book was released on 1979 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this program is to investigate, develop, and utilize technologies appropriate and necessary for improving the efficiency of solar cells made from various unconventional silicon sheets. Work has progressed in fabrication and characterization of solar cells from cast silicon by heat exchanger method (Crystal Systems), EFG (RH) ribbon (Mobil Tyco) and silicon on ceramic (Honeywell). Silicon blanks (2 x 2 cm) were prepared from the HEM cast silicon and EFG ribbon, using conventional slicing techniques, and fabricated using a standard process typical of those used currently in the silicon solar cell industry. Also a back surface field (BSF) process and other process modifications were included in processing additional slices. Relatively large area (about 15 cm2) solar cells were fabricated from silicon on ceramic substrates using a standard process that can be easily adapted to these substrates. Evaluation of the SOC solar cells has not been completed in this reporting period. The performance parameters measured included open circuit voltage, short circuit current, curve fill factor, and conversion efficiency (all taken under AMO illumination). Also measured for typical cells were spectral response, dark I-V characteristics, minority carrier diffusion length, and photoresponse by fine light scanning. The results were compared to the properties of cells made from the conventional single crystalline Czochralski silicon with an emphasis on statistical evaluation. Limited efforts were made to identify defects which will influence solar cell performance.
