Summary:

This contract was a process development effort to verify the technological readiness of a selected process sequence from the as-sawn Czochralski grown silicon wafers to the module assembly. The process investigated consisted of the following sequence: starting material: 3-inch as-sawn CZ silicon wafers; texture etching of silicon wafers using sodium hydroxide; junction formation by ion implantation of phosphorus; laser annealing of ion implanted wafers; screen printing of Ag, Ag-Al for ohmic contact; spraying of tantalum oxide AR coating; and assembly of modules using the LMSC module design, developed under the JPL Contract 954653, as baseline. This selected process sequence was evaluated for its technical potential of achieving the economic goals of the Low Cost Solar Array Project of $.50/watt for 500 megawatt/year production by 1986. Evaluation procedures and results are reported.
