Here we have conducted a comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigation into the impact of the phosphorus diffusion gettering (PDG) process on n-type industrial silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells. Our findings indicate that phosphorus penetrates deeply into the silicon substrate as circular channels.
Furthermore, the consequences of phosphorus doping densities on sheet and contact resistances of Si based solar cell have been estimated based on the systematic variation of the diffusion time. The sheet resistance along with the doping consistence throughout the doped silicon wafers has also been measured using four-probe method.
Phosphorus diffusion in emitter formation plays a vital role in the fabrication of Si wafer solar cells. Increasing the conversion efficiency of the Si wafer solar cells without significantly increasing, or even decreasing, the production cost is a key area of research in the PV community .
Nanotextured Si surfaces lead to more pronounced phosphorus diffusion into the Si wafers during POCl3-based thermal processes. Lowering the phosphorus amount in the emitter helped to decrease the emitter saturation current density, reaching ~100 fA/cm2 and a sheet resistance of ~105 Ω/sq.
The results show that the open-circuit voltage and the efficiency of p-PERC solar cell are decreased if the difference between maximum and minimum value of emitter sheet resistance is increased from 0.45 ohm/sq to 19.3 ohm/sq.
However, the sheet resistance of solar cells from the LHL process was much more uniform than that of the cells from the BKM diffusion process. The results indicated that the LHL process could be beneficial for the FF and the series resistance of solar cells .
