摘要：

Mono-crystalline silicon single heterojunction solar cells on flexible, ultra-thin (similar to 25 mu m) substrates have been developed based on a kerf-less exfoliation method. Optical and electrical measurements demonstrate maintained structural integrity of these flexible substrates. Among several single heterojunction similar to 25 mu m thick solar cells fabricated with un-optimized processes, the highest open circuit voltage of 603 mV, short circuit current of 34.4 mA/cm(2), and conversion efficiency of 14.9% are achieved separately on three different cells. Preliminary reliability test results that include thermal shock and highly accelerated stress tests are also shown to demonstrate compatibility of this technology for use in photovoltaic modules.
