Despite this impressive progress, the processing of PV still is far from having reached its limits, and new challenges have to be addressed. Emerging develop-ments, such as black silicon, provide a huge potential to make PV even more competitive in the field of energy conversion.
For a state-of-the-art PERC system, the uniformity of the alkaline texturing process during a 35-day period on a full production line is reported. To increase the viability of SHJ cells for mass production, the decrease of complexity and costs per wafer is a key step for tool manufacturers.
Compared with the acid polishing sample, the efficiency of the micro-alkali texturing sample is increased by 0.12%. The deterioration of ohmic contact caused by alkali polishing has not been eliminated by optimizing the reaction process of alkali polishing.

The etch rate of alkaline etch solutions are generally lower than at he etch rates of acidic etching solutions. Consequently, alkaline etch processes are often performed at high temperatures (70-80 °C). Alkaline etching is typically anisotropic with an etch rate of 1-2 µm/min for low concentration (1-5% v/v) alkaline solutions. This type of

polishing step on the performance of CZ-Si solar cells that have been textured with in-line alkaline texturing equipment for the formation of random pyramids on the front side of the wafer.
In this work we study the impact of chemical polishing on the performance of mono-crystalline PERC cells. Starting from random pyramid textured surfaces, the rear side polishing step is performed by means of an inline single-side wet-etch tool.
Industrial PERC cell process flows typically apply the polishing of the rear side after texturing as well as the edge isolation after POCl 3 diffusion. In this paper, we present a novel single step polishing process which we apply post double sided texturing and diffusion in order to remove the rear emitter and to reduce the rear
