A wafer-based monocrystalline silicon photovoltaics road map: Utilizing known technology improvement opportunities for further reductions in manufacturing costs
Alan Goodrich,Peter Hacke,Qi Wang,Bhushan Sopori,Robert Margolis,Ted James,Michael Woodhouse +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of manufacturing costs for each step within the wafer-based monocrystalline silicon (c-Si) PV module supply chain is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogen in silicon: a discussion of diffusion and passivation mechanisms.
Bhushan Sopori,X. Deng,J.P. Benner,Ajeet Rohatgi,P. Sana,Stefan K. Estreicher,Y.K. Park,M. A. Roberson +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for H diffusion and passivation is described that explains the experimental results from solar cell passivation, such as variations in the degree of passivation in substrates from different vendors, passivation due to forming gas anneals following Al alloying, and the effects of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) nitridation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Techno-economic analysis of three different substrate removal and reuse strategies for III-V solar cells: Techno-economic analysis for III-V solar cells
J. Scott Ward,Timothy Remo,Kelsey A. W. Horowitz,Michael Woodhouse,Bhushan Sopori,Kaitlyn VanSant,Paul A. Basore +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a bottom-up techno-economic analysis of three different strategies for substrate reuse in high-volume manufacturing: epitaxial lift-off, spalling, and the use of a porous germanium release layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emissivity Measurements and Modeling of Silicon-Related Materials: An Overview
Nuggehalli M. Ravindra,Bhushan Sopori,O. H. Gokce,S. X. Cheng,A. Shenoy,L. Jin,S. Abedrabbo,S. Abedrabbo,Wei Chen,Wei Chen,Y. Zhang,Y. Zhang +11 more
TL;DR: An overview of the emissivity measurements and modeling of silicon-related materials is presented in this paper, where the experimental component of this investigation is based on results obtained utilizing spectral emissometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silicon solar-cell processing for minimizing the influence of impurities and defects
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss various solar-cell processing approaches for minimizing deleterious effects of impurities and defects to yield high efficiency in Si solar cells, and propose a method to remove as-grown impurity and defects as much as possible and passivate the remaining.
