研究目的
Investigating the impact of the thermal budget of the emitter formation on the pseudo fill factor (pFF) of PERC+ solar cells.
研究成果
The optimization of emitter doping profiles by applying oxidation steps reduces the surface phosphorus concentration and emitter saturation current density, enabling higher Voc values and efficiencies. However, increasing thermal budget causes a decrease in the FF and pFF, leading to an efficiency penalty. The pFF is mainly limited by wafer bulk material, with the iFF values of the emitter slightly decreasing with increasing thermal budget.
研究不足
The study reveals a decrease in the pseudo fill factor (pFF) with increasing thermal budget, corresponding to an efficiency loss of approximately 0.5%abs. The root cause for the decreasing pFF was not determined.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves developing and optimizing different in-situ and ex-situ oxidized POCl3 emitter recipes to reduce emitter recombination in industrial PERC+ cells. The methodology includes measuring the cells with busbars on the IV measurement system LOANA from PV-Tools and those without busbars on a SpotLight system from Meyer Burger.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Industrial bifacial PERC+ cells are processed using
3:5 Ohm·cm boron-doped CZ wafers with front side texture, n+ phosphorus emitter, AlOy/SiNx rear side passivation, laser contact opening, and screen-printed metal contacts. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes POCl3 furnace, PECVD silicon nitride (SiNx), KOH etch, RCA clean, belt furnace, QSSPC method for lifetime measurement, IV measurement system LOANA from PV-Tools, and SpotLight system from Meyer Burger.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The process involves texture and diffusion on both sides, rear side polish to remove texture and emitter, PSG and dielectric etch, passivation, and firing. Different groups are processed with varying oxidation steps and temperatures.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The lifetime of the test structures is measured using the QSSPC method. Suns-iVOC curves are calculated and interpolated to calculate a combined suns-iVOC curve from both test structures to get a combined iFF, which is compared with the pFF of the PERC+ solar cells.
