At the front (n + region), the donor concentration N D falls steeply from more than 10 20 cm −3 at the surface to values below N A in a depth of less than 1 μm. At the rear (p + region), the silicon surface is doped with aluminum
Customer ServiceCommercially, the efficiency for mono-crystalline silicon solar cells is in the range of 16–18% (Outlook, 2018). Together with multi-crystalline cells, crystalline silicon-based cells are used in the largest quantity for standard module production, representing about 90% of the world's total PV cell production in 2008 (Outlook, 2018).
During the past few decades, crystalline silicon solar cells are mainly applied on the utilization of solar energy in large scale, which are mainly classified into three types, i.e., mono-crystalline silicon, multi-crystalline silicon and thin film, respectively .
A solar cell fabrication process uses several high-temperature steps including a phosphorus diffusion process and a metal contact firing. The silicon wafer is p-type doped to 1 · 10 15 cm −3. The required surface doping and depth for the diffused part of the pn junction are 1 · 10 19 cm −3 and 200 nm, respectively.
Constant-source and constant-dose diffusion are the most common in silicon solar cell fabrication. Typical processes to form the pn junction in silicon solar cells comprise two steps: A pre-deposition process with a constant source, such as process A defined previously, to introduce the desired dose of dopant impurities in the wafer surface.
The most relevant methods for the production of crystalline silicon for PV applications are the Czochralski method for monocrystalline silicon and directional solidification method for multicrystalline silicon. We study the fabrication of these two types of crystalline silicon in the next sections. 5.1.2.1.
PERT, TOPCon, and Bifacial Cells Phosphorous-doped N-type silicon wafers retain lifetimes on the order of milliseconds under the same stresses and therefore can be used as a starting material for high-efficient solar cells. The PN junction is formed by boron diffusion .
