Silicon-Based Solar Cells
The process of creating silicon substrates, which are needed for the fabrication of semiconductor devices, involves multiple steps. Silica is utilized to create metallurgical grade silicon (MG-Si), which is subsequently refined and purified through a number of phases to create high-purity silicon which can be utilized in the solar cells.

Why is n-type silicon a good substrate for IBC solar cells?
Usually, n-type silicon has high carrier mobility, so it is a significant choice for the substrates of IBC solar cells. Meantime, reducing the thickness of the silicon wafer also contributes to the absorption of carriers by the electrodes, and the production cost can be reduced.
What is a silicon solar cell?
A solar cell in its most fundamental form consists of a semiconductor light absorber with a specific energy band gap plus electron- and hole-selective contacts for charge carrier separation and extraction. Silicon solar cells have the advantage of using a photoactive absorber material that is abundant, stable, nontoxic, and well understood.
What are the assumptions of crystalline silicon solar cells?
Schematic diagram of crystalline silicon solar cells. For ideal solar cells, four main assumptions are proposed: there exists no transport loss, and the body recombination is minimal. Under the mentioned assumptions, the minimum Auger recombination and good free carrier collection can be obtained with the intrinsic substrate material.
What are the characteristics of industrialized silicon solar cells?
However, existing industrialized silicon solar cells exhibit simple structures. The single crystalline silicon with the Czochralski method or the polycrystalline silicon with the casting method has been adopted on a large scale. Generally, these silicon materials are boron diffusion doped, with a resistivity of 0.5–0.6 Ω cm.
Do polycrystalline silicon solar cells apply to standardized processes?
Polycrystalline silicon solar cells may not apply to standardized processes for certain special properties. Some alternatives to the standard process have been proposed, while they have not been adopted for their relatively high cost. People are still looking for a solution, two of which are not the same as the single crystalline silicon process.
Which light source is used to test crystalline silicon solar cells?
The test light source of the crystalline silicon solar cells is taken as the AM1.5 light source based on the spectrum near the surface, with the light intensity of 1000 W/m 2. At present, solar simulators exploit xenon arc lamps as light sources, primarily since their spectra are the closest to sunlight.
