Offline Texturization Control for Mono-Crystalline Solar Cells
For wafer based solar cells the texturization is a very important wet-chemical production step to ensure highest solar cell efficiencies. Especially for mono-crystalline solar cells, the pyramid structure due to the texturization process must be homogenous and well defined. Process parameters like time, temperature and etch concentration have a strong influence on the pyramid dimensions and density. Standard test procedures like reflectivity measurements or microscope pictures just give a rough idea about the texturization quality. A detailed knowledge about the pyramid structures as well as the pyramid dimensions on the wafer is essential for optimizing and ensuring highest quality texturization.
