This article is the second article in a three-part series dedicated to reviewing each process
step in crystalline silicon (c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturing process: feedstock …

POCl 3 diffusion is currently the de facto standard method for industrial n-type emitter
fabrication. In this study, we present the impact of the following processing parameters on …

Mono-like Si wafers were textured by both alkaline solution and metal-assisted chemical
etching (MACE) process. The influences of surface textures on the diffusion process, surface …

Thermal oxidation has been widely adopted in the fabrication process of silicon solar cells.
In this paper, we investigate the effect of thermal oxidation on the performance of passivated …

Surface texturing is one of the key steps in the manufacturing process of mono-crystalline
silicon solar cells. The mainstream texturing process applied currently is based on alkaline …

Emitter sheet resistance contributes significantly to the distributed series resistance of a
solar cell. The series resistance (R s) impacts the fill factor (FF) and in turn affects the short …

This paper tackles challenges in silicon (Si) solar cells, specifically the use of hazardous
Phosphorus Oxychloride (POCl 3) for emitter formation and silane/ammonia for the Anti …

For the long-term strategy of gradual decarbonization of the world's energy supply, high
penetration of PV electricity is critical in the future world energy landscape. In order to …

In order to enable higher conversion efficiencies, commercially-produced p-type solar cell
devices of the future will require the minimisation of front surface (emitter) recombination …

Advanced structures in solar cells, such as selective emitter or back contacted back junction
solar cells, require different phosphorus doping levels. A phosphorus furnace diffusion …
