Abstract: We report the detection of laser-induced damage in laser-doped layers at the surface of crystalline silicon wafers, via micron-scale photoluminescence spectroscopy. The properties of the sub-band-gap emission from the induced defects are found to match the emission characteristics of dislocations. Courtesy of the high spatial resolution of the micro-photoluminescence spectroscopy technique, micron-scale variations in the extent of damage at the edge of the laser-doped region can be detected, providing a powerful tool to study and optimize laser-doping processes for silicon photovoltaics.

Abstract: One of the primary objectives of the global photovoltaic research community is to effect significant manufacturing cost reductions, either by reducing material and processing costs or by increasing solar cell efficiency. One very promising technology for achieving both of these goals is Sliver technology, which offers potential for a 10- to 20-fold reduction in the consumption of purified silicon, while at the same time achieving very high cell efficiencies by fully exploiting the advantages of mono-crystalline silicon. Sliver solar cells are thin, mono-crystalline silicon solar cells fabricated using a combination of micro-machining techniques and standard silicon device fabrication technologies. Rather than fabricating a single solar cell on the surface of a wafer, many hundreds to several thousand in idual Sliver solar cells are fabricated within a single wafer. The dimensions of a Sliver cell depend upon wafer size, wafer thickness, and the micro-machining method employed.Cells typically have a length of 5 – 12cm, a width of 0.5 – 2mm, and a thickness of 20 – 60 micron. 20% efficient Sliver solar cells using standard cell processing methods and a robust processing sequence, have been fabricated at ANU. Current research efforts are directed towards developing and establishing new fabrication techniques to further simplify the fabrication sequence and to improve cell efficiency. This paper presents an overview of Sliver technology. The fabrication method and some key challenges in producing Sliver cells is presented along with the measured performance of cells fabricated in the ANU solar research laboratory.

Abstract: We present an approach to characterize the relative saturation current density (Joe) and sheet resistance (RSH) of laser doped regions on silicon wafers based on rapid photoluminescence (PL) imaging. In the absence of surface passivation layers, the RSH of laser doped regions using a wide range of laser parameters is found to be inversely proportional to the PL intensity (IPL). We explain the underlying mechanism for this correlation, which reveals that, in principle, IPL is inversely proportional to Joe at any injection level. The validity of this relationship under a wide range of typical experimental conditions is confirmed by numerical simulations. This method allows the optimal laser parameters for achieving low RSH and Joe to be determined from a simple PL image.

Abstract: Sliver cells are thin, single-crystal silicon solar cells fabricated using standard fabrication technology. Sliver modules, composed of several thousand in idual Sliver cells, can be efficient, low-cost, bifacial, transparent, flexible, shadow tolerant, and lightweight. Compared with current PV technology, mature Sliver technology will need 10% of the pure silicon and fewer than 5% of the wafer starts per MW of factory output. This paper deals with two distinct challenges related to Sliver cell and Sliver module production: providing a mature and robust Sliver cell fabrication method which produces a high yield of highly efficient Sliver cells, and which is suitable for transfer to industry and, handling, electrically interconnecting, and encapsulating billions of sliver cells at low cost. Sliver cells with efficiencies of 20% have been fabricated at ANU using a reliable, optimised processing sequence, while low-cost encapsulation methods have been demonstrated using a submodule technique.
