6 FAQs about [Solar cell silicon wafer specifications]

Which type of monocrystalline silicon solar wafers will be launched in 2020?

Time to 2019, M6 (166mm x 166mm) p-Type mono wafers (223mm diameter silicon ingot) was lauched. The 6” format M2 (156.75mm x 156.75mm) was expected to be placed by G1 and M6. In the same period of 2019, M12 (G12) M10 M9 were launched and would be industralized in year 2020. 1 Type Of Monocrystalline Silicon Solar wafer Note: L= length; D=Diameter

What is a silicon PV cell?

A typical silicon PV cell is a thin wafer, usually square or rectangular wafers with dimensions 10cm × 10cm × 0.3mm, consisting of a very thin layer of phosphorous-doped (N-type) silicon on top of a thicker layer of boron-doped (p-type) silicon. You might find these chapters and articles relevant to this topic.

What are the different types of silicon wafers?

These wafers are known as type M0. With wafer manufacturers pushing the size of the silicon ingots, 2 different types of wafers were produced, M1 and M2. With only a marginal increase in side length being 156.75 mm, their differences lie in the ingots they were cut from.

What are the wafer bulk requirements for industrial amorphous/crystalline n-type silicon heterojunction cells?

An intermediate resistivity range such as 0.5–2 Ω cm is recommended. Reducing the occurrence of low flyer bricks is desired to lower efficiency spread. In this work, we derive and discuss the wafer bulk requirements for industrial amorphous/crystalline n-type silicon heterojunction cells.

What size is a monocrystalline silicon wafer?

Before 2010, monocrystalline silicon wafers were dominated by 125mm x 125mm width (165mm silicon ingot diameter) and only a small number at 156mm x 156mm (200mm silicon ingot diameter). After 2010, 156mm x 156mm wafers increasingly became the popular choice (lower cost per-watt) for p-Type monocrystalline and multicrystalline wafer sizes.

Will silicon wafer-based solar cells be eclipsed?

The forecasted eclipse of silicon wafer-based solar cells has not yet occurred, as presently about 90% or more of commercial solar cell products are still bulk silicon devices made from silicon cast ingots, pulled single-crystal boules, or ribbon/sheet.
