Methods of emitter formation for crystalline silicon solar cells

Jan Bultman, Ilkay Cesar, Bart Geerligs, Yuji Komatsu & Wim Sinke, ECN Solar Energy, Petten, The Netherlands

ECNThe emitter or p-n junction is the core of crystalline silicon solar cells. The vast majority of silicon cells are produced using a simple process of high temperature diffusion of dopants into the crystal lattice. This paper takes a closer look at the characteristics of this diffusion and possible variations in the process, and asks whether this step can lead to optimal emitters or whether emitters should be made with different processes in order to obtain the highest possible efficiency.
