Abstract
In a method of growing silicon (Si) using a reactor, a supercritical fluid including a silicon Si source and hydrogen flows in the reactor, and the Si source reacts with hydrogen. A base substrate of a solar cell may be formed with Si made using the method of growing silicon (Si). The supercritical fluid may be a fluid in which Si is not oxidized and may be, for example, a COsupercritical fluid with a pressure of about 60 to about 200 atm. The Si source may be TriChloroSilane (TCS) (SiClH) or SiH.
