To face the low-cost challenges from mainland China, which ranks the 1st solar cell and wafer production, it is necessary to develop a differentiated technology. Nowadays, there are three main categories in solar cells. The first category is the solar cells with the highest efficiency up to 24%, dominated by SunPower and Parasonic. The 2nd category is P-type monocrystalline solar cells, having the efficiency around 19%. The third category belongs to the multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) solar cells, which are mainly produced by China and Taiwan. To compete with the 1st-Tier companies in the 1st category is not practical. To pay attention on the 2nd category is also not meaningful because the wafer cost is still too high. Then, a new category that is emerging is N-type solar cells that based on the low-cost wafers by casting. Therefore, in this joint project with Sino-American Silicon Products Inc. (SAS), we propose to develop some critical technologies for N-type wafers, high-performance mc-Si or quasi-mono. The wafers will be characterized through collaborations with ECN, an well-known institute in N-type solar cell research, with solar cell companies in Taiwan. There are five challenges in N-type ingot production; of course, P-type mc-Si and quai-mono have the similar problems. The first is the dipping process is still relied on labor, so that the cycle time is long and the power consumption is high. The 2nd problem is the resistivity distribution is too wide due to the low segregation coefficient of phosphorous. The 3rd one is the multiplication of dislocations. This problem for mc-Si has been mostly resolved, but not yet for quai-mono. The forth challenge is the back diffusion of metals and oxygen is too much, so that the growth yield is low and the minority lifetime is also affected. The fifth one is that the cost for the seeds and crucibles is still too high. Therefore, in this project, we will spend three years in developing the critical technologies to resolve these issues. The same technologies should also be useful for the current P-type mc-Si and quasi-mono products.太陽能電池N型多晶類單晶鑄碇長晶Solar cellN-typeMulticrystallineQuasi-monoCasting太陽能N型高效多晶與類單晶鑄碇關鍵技術開發(3/3)
