Solar cells have been obtained after solid phase regrowth of phosphorus implanted silicon induced by an incoherent light source. Their characteristics are compared with those of identically implanted cells obtained by electron beam and furnace annealing. The main results are: a) the carrier concentration and the mobility profiles are the same of those obtained by electron beam annealing; b) I-V characteristic, quantum efficiency, fill factor and efficiency of the cells annealed by incoherent light are similar to those obtained by the other annealing techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
