Abstract

Emitter formation for industrial crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells is demonstrated by the deposition of phosphorous-doped silicate glasses (PSG) on p-type monocrystalline silicon wafers via in-line atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) and subsequent thermal diffusion. Processed wafers with and without the PSG layers have been analysed by SIMS measurements to investigate the depth profiles of the resultant phosphorous emitters. Subsequently, complete solar cells were fabricated using the phosphorous emitters formed by doped silicate glasses to determine the impact of this high-throughput doping method on cell performance.
