It is written from the perspective of an experimentalist with extensive hands-on experience in modeling, fabrication, and characterization. A practical approach to solar cell fabrication is presented in terms of its three components: materials, electrical, and optical. The materials section describes wafer processing methods including saw damage removal, texturing, diffusion, and surface passivation. The electrical section focuses on formation of ohmic contacts on n and p-doped surfaces. The optical section illustrates light interaction with textured silicon surfaces in terms of geometrical, diffractive and physical optics, transmission, and surface photovoltage (SPV) spectroscopy. A final chapter analyzes performance of solar cells, fabricated with a wide range of process parameters. A brief economic analysis on the merits of crystalline silicon-based photovoltaic technology as a cottage industry is also included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis professional reference will be an important resource for practicing engineers and technicians working with solar cell and PV manufacturing and renewable energy technologies, as well as upper-level engineering and material science students.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents a practical approach to solar cell fabrication, and characterization;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers modular methodology with detailed equipment and process parameters supported by experimental results;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes processing diagrams and tables for 16% efficient solar cell fabrication.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-08-04\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030733810\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-73379-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 258\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47531296424076,"sku":"9783030733810","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030733810.jpg?v=1776051305","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030733810","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
