Optimization of Texturization on Monocrystalline Silicon Solar Cell

Article Preview

Abstract:

Alkaline etchants was a conventional process in monocrystalline silicon texturing. In the paper, A new etchant,Sodium Dodecyl Sulfonate (CH3(CH2)10CH2SO3Na) solution, was firstly applied to texture monocrystalline silicon used for solar cells. Uniform pyramids about 2µm in the wafer of monocrystalline silicon were formed with low concentration of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfonate (CH3(CH2)10CH2SO3Na)at 75°C for 20min. This etchant has a lot of advantage, such as low cost, no pollution and good reproducibility, so maybe is suitable for the 1arge-scale production.
