The PERT (passivated emitter rear totally diffused) solar cells fabricated by conventional thermal diffusion concept, one side experiences flatten step. In this study we have investigated a new procedure to maintain the textured pyramids on the both side of the PERT solar cells by using spin etching technique. Texture pyramids were observed by a laser microscope and SEM images of these doped layers before and after totally removed silicon wafers. Reflectance measurement was emplyed to compare the reflectance of flattened wafer and texture pyramids maintained wafer. A thermally diffused n-PERT solar cell was fabricated by the new procedure and the achieved front side efficiency is 19.0 % and 17.3 % for rear side. By optimizing the rear side emitter and its passivation as high as front side efficiency could be reached.
