摘要
We have developed a simplified mass-production process for 16% efficiency multi-crystalline silicon solar cells. In this paper, newly developed fabrication process without increasing process steps and applying expensive equipments is described. Main improved points are as follows. 1) novel texturing method using Na2CO3 : reduced fabrication cost compared to conventional NaOH+IPA etching, 2) optimization of PECVD temperature for SiN ARC, 3) improved silver paste for fire-through of PECVD-SiN AR film: reduction of penetration into diffused n-layer during firing and finer line electrodes with high aspect ratio. By combining such novel technologies, 16% efficiency for 15cmX15cm cells has been obtained for four different suppliers' mc-Si wafers.
