Abstract: We demonstrate the versatile use of UV-ozone oxide (UVo) in surface cleaning, surface passivation, diffused junction passivation, and current tunneling applications of crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells.
A UV-ozone generated oxide is used as a surface clean for random textured c-Si samples and the effectiveness of surface clean is determined by capping with a thin layer of aluminum oxide (AlO x ).
Development of interdigitated back contact (IBC) silicon solar cells was also enabled by a cost-effective cleaning mixture of H 2 O/NH 3 /H 2 O 2 with various chemical concentrations and different cleaning temperature. Recently, the application of ozone in wet and dry semiconductor surface cleaning processes has gained significant attention.
We present a unique method of processing the silicon surface effectively by UV-ozone cleaning. Despite being simple, UV-ozone cleaning results in a superior surface passivation quality that is comparable to high-quality RCA clean.
Photovoltaic (PV) cells work by absorbing light to generate electron-hole pairs and excitons. They separate the charge carriers of opposite types and separately extract those carriers to an external circuit. All types of PV systems are widely used today in a variety of applications.
Solar cells, also known as photovoltaic cells, are photovoltaic irrespective of whether the source is sunlight or artificial light. They are used as photodetectors (for example, infrared detectors), convert light into electricity, and measure the light intensity.
