EFG silicon ribbon solar cellsThe growth and characteristics of edge defined, film fed grown (EFG) silicon ribbons are discussed. Factors involved in the growth of continuous lengths of 1 in. wide ribbons are examined. The structural and electrical characteristics of the ribbons have been studied and the results are presented. Solar cells have been fabricated using the ribbon crystals and typical AMO efficiencies of 6 to 10% have been realized.
