德州仪器公司正在开发一种独特的光伏/电化学太阳能转换/存储系统，该系统利用硅球作为单个光伏元件。开发了一种高通量生产高纯度单晶硅球的新技术。球面几何结构提供了几个优点，包括高晶体生长速度，简化了过程中的材料流动，以及出色的硅材料利用率。讨论了硅球的生产工艺，提出了器件效率的现状和目标。
A unique photovoltaic/electrochemical solar energy conversion/storage system utilizing silicon spheres as the individual photovoltaic elements is being developed at Texas Instruments. A new technology has been developed to produce high-purity single-crystal silicon spheres at high throughput rates. The spherical geometry offers several advantages including high crystal growth rate, simplified in-process material flow, and excellent silicon material utilization. The silicon sphere production process is discussed and the device efficiency status and goals are presented.
