Thin film polycrystalline solar cells on low cost substrates offer an attractive path to large scale production of solar cells with the potential to generate electricity at 1$/W. SRI International has a propriety technology to deposit Si films in a reactor based on fluidized bed technology. The results presented in this paper show that, with a proper reactor design, Si films can be grown at rates of 7 μm/min and higher. Films are crystalline, with crystallite sizes higher than 20 μm. We have also evaluated the performance of SiO 2 diffusion barriers as a potential way towards the use of low cost substrates, such as metallurgical grade Si. Whereas SiO 2 layers of 0.1 μm are not sufficient to stop P diffusion from the substrate to the film, 0.7 μm layers are thick enough to accomplish this goal. The reactor configuration can be used for continuous and integrated cell/panel fabrication. At present we are building a first continuous reactor, and in this paper we present some preliminary considerations. |
