HJT Processing: Shifting To Micro Silicon Layers
The Introduction Of A Microcrystalline Silicon Layer Into The HJT Structure Is The Key Development In The Core Layer Deposition Step
Monday, 24 Apr 2023
When wafers enter the core layer deposition stage, it means they reach the heart of HJT processing. This stop follows wet etching, which we discussed in a separate article (see Cleaning Has Big Role In HJT).
Cleaning Has Big Role In HJT
HJT Requires Optimization Of Wet-Chemical Processes Among Which Cleaning Is Key
Monday, 17 Apr 2023
As with standard cell making, the HJT process also starts with saw damage etching (SDE), followed by texturization and cleaning. All these steps are individually optimized for HJT.
