Ultra-Thin Lightweight Bendable Crystalline Si Solar Cells for Solar Vehicles
説明
Komatsu NTC developed ultra-thin wafer slicing with low kerf-loss by multi diamond-wire saw. We modified slicing conditions and diamond-wire specifications to keep the straightness of wire for the fine pitch slicing and established 150 μm pitch slicing technology. The as-cut wafer thickness is 90 μm, and the kerf-loss is 60 μm. As a result, the highly flexible ultrathin wafer can be obtained with well-controlled surface crystallinity. The PERT cell fabrication trial using ultra-thin wafers showed that the relative deference of cell efficiency between 166 μm thick and 84 μm thick solar cells was just only 1.2%.
