Abstract:Back-contacted back-junction n-type Si solar cells with locally overcompensated diffusion regions are investigated in two different designs. In the "buried emitter" design, boron-doped (B-doped) emitter diffusions are partially diffused and locally overcompensated by phosphor-doped (P-doped) back surface field (BSF) diffusions, leading to n-type regions that are overlapping the p-type regions. In the "floating base" design, the B-diffusions are diffused on the entire rear side, so that the P-diffusions are sep… Show more
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.
