Abstract

In the photovoltaics (PV) industry, there were many efforts to reduce the cost of production with high efficiency. The single most important cost factor in silicon technology is the wafer, accounting presently for ~35% of the module cost. it was already shown that the solar cell efficiency can be maintained up to the thickness range of $40-60{\mu}m$. The direct production of ultra-thin silicon wafer is very attractive and numerous different techniques, such as electrochemical process, ion implantation, and epitaxial growth, have been proposed and developed in many academic and industrial laboratories.
