Customer ServiceThe one in image (C) is a maple leaf-shaped cell of 0.081 mm demonstrating the capability of plasma etching to fabricate versatile shapes of solar cells. In these images, it can be seen that the mesa size is close to the cell size, which limits material losses.
Etching is a process which removes material from a solid (e.g., semiconductor or metal). The etching process can be physical and/or chemical, wet or dry, and isotropic or anisotropic. All these etch process variations can be used during solar cell processing.
Wet etching can be used to remove residual saw damage, to texture, to polish, to clean material and/or to reveal defects in the wafers. There are three major wet etching types , see Fig. 3:
H 3 PO 4:HCl (1:4) is known to etch P-containing layer (AlGaInP, InGaP and AlInP) selectively with GaAs-containing layer (GaAs, InGaAs and AlGaAs). This solution is therefore suitable for finishing the etching of the top cell (windows/emitted/BSF AlInP/InGaP/AlGaInP) selectively with the first tunnel junction in (AlGaAs) .
Dry etching is predominantly anisotropic. Reactive ion etching is used to edge isolate. During wet etching processes, the solid is immersed in a chemical solution (which can be either acidic or alkaline) and material is removed by dissolution.
Plasma etching is stopped in the middle cell base (InGaAs), solution H 2 SO 4:H 2 O 2:H 2 O (1:10:20) allows to etch until the back surface field (BSF) (InGaP) which can then be etch with H 3 PO 4:HCl (1:4) to expose the second tunnel junction. As for the top cell, the sidewalls are protected during the wet etching.
