B and P diffusions, used in many high-efficiency mono-crystalline Si solar cell designs to form collecting junctions localized contact diffusions, and back surface fields (BSFs) are given emphasis because the performance of these cells is not degraded by the quality of the Si wafer when introducing chemical impurities or lattice defects .
In case of p+/n/n+co-diffusion the total silicon surface is lower than that of p+/n diffusion. For both side (emitter and BSF) of every processed wafer, the uniformity is calculated in the same way than above. For more accuracy, nine points was measured instead of five.
This is due to the difference between the total surface of silicon wafers exposed to the gaseous dopant. In case of p+/n/n+co-diffusion the total silicon surface is lower than that of p+/n diffusion. For both side (emitter and BSF) of every processed wafer, the uniformity is calculated in the same way than above.
The array of nanowires ~1 µm in diameter and with the aspect ratio of ~10 was successfully prepared from commercial n-type silicon wafer.

PID
PID was also observed in rear- contact IBC n-type cells and related to polarization effects leading to a passivation loss [3]. Although our n-Pasha (Passivated all sides H-pattern) cells and modules are resistant to PID and UV exposure, it has recently been reported that front junction (FJ) n-type based modules can suffer from PID [4, 5].
