Solar Facts
•The earth receives more energy from the sun in just
one hour than the world uses in a whole year.
•1% of the land today used for crops and pasture could
supply the world's total energy consumption.
•The Sun provides 1020 Watts/meter² peak power at sea-
level
Cell efficiency of 10% translates to ~100W/meter2

•Crystalline solar cells are usually wafers, about 0.3 mm thick, sawn from Si
ingot
• 15% efficiency cells deliver
15 to 60 W/m² or 0.45-1.35
kWh/m²/day (annual day and
night average) in North
America
Si Crystalline Solar cells are just large area semiconductor diodes

Sliver Cell
A wafer (assume 150mm diameter) configured as a conventional solar cell has an area
of 177cm2. However, the same wafer, when processed to produce Sliver® cells, can be
used to cover up to 5,000 cm2 of module area, which is 30 times better than for
conventional technology.

Lecture 26EE143 F2010
Q: What are the major differences between
PV fabrication and IC/MEMS fabrication ?
•Patterning (alignment, size control)
•Doping
•Contact Formation
•Metallization
•Planarization
Q: What other process modules are not
commonly used in IC/MEMS fabrication ?
