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 .
The density, arrangement, and characteristics of the grains affect the performance of the multicrystalline solar cells. With directional solidification, the density of grain boundaries is greatly reduced as compared to the casting method.
A typical real silicon solar cell cross-section. The material used to fabricate a solar cell, which is the base, is always p-doped. The n-doped region is called the emitter side. Photocurrents in a real solar cell: Light is believed to enter on the emitter side for the measurement of photocurrents.
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.
This calls for the use of n-type silicon, which has longer minority carrier lifetimes, and thus longer diffusion lengths. To make both contacts on the back side of the solar cell, an interdigitated grid (i.e., with the fingers of each contact interlocked) is formed. These grids are not constrained by shadowing.
