2 U.S. PVMC Report: 3 rd Annual c-si PVMC Workshop Summary Summary On July 8 th, 2014 the c-si programs at the U.S. Photovoltaic Manufacturing Consortium (U.S. PVMC) held our 3 rd Annual c-si Workshop in San Francisco, CA during the Intersolar NA conference. The general purpose of this workshop was to increase our current collective understanding of anticipated critical needs/challenges of diamond wire sawing for the photovoltaic industry. The scope of the workshop included diamond wire sawing of silicon, diamond wire saws, diamond wire manufacturing, in-line metrology for inspection of diamond wire, diamond wire failure mode analyses, wafer as-cut properties, diamond wire sawing cost reduction, and other diamond wire related topics. This 3 rd annual c-si PVMC Workshop was very successful. Participants from both industrial and academic backgrounds, came together to share and discuss a variety topics related to the feedstock and wafer supply chain. The participants represented diamond wire manufacturer, coolant manufacturer, diamond wire saw manufacturer, metrology manufacturer, solar cell manufacturer, and academic research centers.), Many stimulating thoughts were conveyed and thought provoking questions discussed in relation to diamond wire sawing for PV. As one of the key products of this workshop was an extensive list of near- and long-term challenges for the mutual benefit of the participants and the c-si PVMC programs. The PVMC will use this valuable input when moving forward in the conception of new collaborative projects within the c-si Programs. Panel Discussion B. Sopori W. Schoenfeld A. Gupta Breakfast

5 U.S. PVMC Report: 3 rd Annual c-si PVMC Workshop Summary of Challenges Speakers and attendees shared their perspective on current and future challenges for the diamond wire sawing in PV manufacturing and provided input on potential barriers for its widespread adoption. Both technical and market-related topics were debated by the workshop participants. This section summarizes both near-term and long-term challenges. Near-Term Challenges (1-3 Years) 1-3 Years Challenges Conversion from slurry slicing to DW. Stimulating new equipoment investment vs. equipment upgrades. Large coolant tanks/pumps of slurry saws not suitable for diamond wire saws Enabling diamond wire sawing for multi, sawing process tuning, brick prep, Texturization process is a barrier Improved fundamental understanding of diamond wire sawing process (E.g. Process tribology: abrasive-material interaction, Role of crystallographic properties on cutting characteristics, surface/subsurface damage) In-line metrology for diamond wire monitoring Lower the striation amplitude to < 5 mm Improve uniformity for thinner wafers Better texture uniformity Diamond adhesion and fracture Reducing wire failure during cutting Cost of saws and wires A robust 80um diamond wire for mono-si slicing CapEx for DW dedicated tools Continue to drive down the wire consumption Availability of cost effective n-type wafers Optimize saw control for higher throughput, minimum wire damager, tight tension control, lower TTV Consistent incoming wafer surface morphology to the PV cell manufacturer Standardized surface cleaning post sawing Development of more effective, cheaper, non-hazardous, non-corrosive coolants Developing high speed wire saws Long-Term Challenges (4+ Years) 4+ Years Challenges Accelerating the adoption of advanced architecture using thin wafer format Increasing market share of mono Wire and process optimization (Abrasive/wire properties, Process dynamics, Residual stress, Predictive models) Higher throughput Better cutting uniformity within the wafer and wafer to wafer Longer lasting thinner wires Thinner wires/cores for reduced kerf Alternate fixed abrasives (i.e. beyond diamond) Process optimization to maintain high yield and low defectivity (e.g. microcracks) Cell design optimization for thin wafer Hardware improvement to reduce breakage in the cell fabrication line Breakthrough module technology Kerf losses down to 60um Adoption of thin wafers by cell/module makers No wire breakage Precise tension control Balance Kerf loss vs productivity vs CoC Better steel to allow high tension Optimized diamond size and density to allow higher cutting speed Enable wafer thickness down to 140um Enabling < 3um Silicon loss (damage removal +Texturing), smaller diamond particles? Increase coolant lifetime, reduce environmental impact, ensure functionality at lower concentrations Patterned Diamond Wire for better cut quality, higher throughput Next generation diamond for super long wire life
6 U.S. PVMC Report: 3 rd Annual c-si PVMC Workshop Summary Summary and Conclusions The 3 rd Annual c-si Workshop held on July 8 th, 2014 was deemed a success by the attendees. The many different points of view shared during the conference confirmed the need for addressing the challenges in a comprehensive and collaborative manner. It was clear from the resulting list of short and long term challenges the interdependency of the challenges is best suited for resolution through a requires a collaborative methodology. The c-si PVMC programs is committed to continue providing an open environment that enables direct cooperative interaction of its member companies for the development of c-si technologies to new frontiers, diamond wire sawing technologies included.
