Previous issue date: 2015-01-21 === The thin bifacial solar cells are a promising opportunity to reduce costs in manufacturing solar cells. These devices take advantage of solar radiation more efficiently by using the both sides of the solar cell to produce electricity. This study aimed to analyze the type of substrate, n and p, for the manufacture of thin bifacial solar cells with silicon substrate Czochralski (Cz-Si) with a thickness of 130 μm. The wafers, provided by the company Meyer Burger, were obtained by wire cutting process. The evaluation of the influence of texture processing time on the wafer, the diffusion/firing temperature optimization of metallic pastes deposited by screen printing and finally the comparison of the electrical parameters of solar cells with those from thin bifacial manufactured devices obtained by etching were performed. From a standard process of NT-Solar texture etch, two immersion times were tested, 50 min and 60 min, and the former showed the lowest weighted average reflectance and devices with higher short circuit density. The diffusion/firing of Ag and Al metallic pastes have been optimized considering the thermal processing temperature in the range between 850 ? C and 890 ? C. It was observed that the highest average efficiency were between 860 ? C and 870 ? C. The best performance were observed in the cells fabricated with phosphorous emitter in front and boron rear side, i.e., the structure n+np+ and n+pp+, and the efficiencies in front side was 12.8% and 13.6%, respectively and in the rear side 10.4 % and 9.0 %, respectively. By comparing these results with solar cells obtained by similar processes using chemical thinned wafers, the n+np+ structure had 1 % lower efficiency and the n+pp+ one presented similar efficiency values. Regarding the type of substrate, it can be concluded that the solar cells fabricated with the n-type substrate showed higher bifaciality, but the most efficient was manufactured with p-type silicon === As c?lulas solares bifaciais finas representam uma oportunidade promissora para reduzir os custos na fabrica??o de c?lulas solares ao aproveitar a radia??o solar de maneira mais eficiente utilizando as duas faces do dispositivo para produzir energia el?trica. Este trabalho teve como objetivo a an?lise do tipo de base, n e p, para fabrica??o de c?lulas solares bifaciais finas com substrato de sil?cio Czochralski (Si- Cz) com espessura da ordem de 130 μm obtidas ap?s processo de corte a fios e fornecidas pela empresa Meyer Burguer. Foi realizada a avalia??o da influ?ncia do tempo de processo de textura??o, a otimiza??o da temperatura de queima/difus?o das pastas met?licas depositadas por serigrafia e, por fim, a compara??o dos par?metros el?tricos das c?lulas solares com os obtidos em dispositivos bifaciais fabricados em l?minas finas obtidas por ataque qu?mico. A partir de um processo de textura??o padr?o do NT-Solar dois tempos de imers?o foram testados, 50 min e 60 min, sendo que o primeiro produziu a menor reflet?ncia m?dia ponderada e os dispositivos com maior densidade de corrente de curto-circuito. A queima das pastas met?licas de Ag e Al foi otimizada considerando a temperatura do processo t?rmico no intervalo entre 850 ?C e 890 ?C. Observou-se que a maior efici?ncia m?dia se encontra entre 860 ?C e 870 ?C. As c?lulas solares mais eficientes foram as fabricadas com a regi?o frontal dopada com f?sforo e a posterior dopada com boro, isto ?, as estruturas n+np+ e n+pp+ com efici?ncias frontal de 12,8 % e 13,6 %, respectivamente, e efici?ncia posterior de 10,4 % e 9,0 %, respectivamente. Ao comparar estes resultados com c?lulas solares obtidas por processos similares e fabricadas com l?minas de outros fabricantes a estrutura n+np+ apresentou efici?ncia 1 % menor e a estrutura n+pp+ apresentou valores similares. Quanto ao tipo de substrato, as c?lulas solares fabricadas com o tipo n apresentaram melhor bifacialidade, mas as mais eficientes foram as fabricadas com sil?cio tipo p.
