SiNx/SiOx passivation and double side P-diffusion gettering treatment have been used for the fabrication of c-Si solar cells. The solar cells fabricated have high open circuit voltage and short circuit current after t...
One challenge to the use of lightly-doped, high efficiency emitters on multicrystalline silicon wafers is the poor gettering efficiency of the diffusion processes used to fabricate them. With the photovoltaic industry...
Fabrication of modem multi-crystalline silicon solar cells involves multiple processes that are thermally intensive. These include emitter diffusion, thermal oxida- tion and firing of the metal contacts. This paper il...

The precipitation and gettering behaviors of copper (Cu) at different defective regions in multicrystalline silicon were investigated by combining scanning infrared microscopy, optical microscopy, inductively couple...
Oxygen gettering in Si by the He induced cavity layer was investigated in this work.A cavity layer was generated in Si sample by He implantation and annealing.The morphology of the cavity layer depending on the dose o...
The effect of rapid thermal annealing (RTA) ambient on denuded zone and oxygen precipitates in Czochralski (CZ) silicon wafers is studied in this paper. N2 and a N2/NH3 mixture are used as RTA ambient. It is demon...
Reducing the concentration of the metallic impurities present in silicon-based electronic components plays a vital role in manufactures. Gettering by induced mechanical damage is one of the methods used in neutralizin...
A new lifetime control technique-localized platinum lifetime control (LPLC) is introduced. Silicon samples are implanted with 550keV protons at dosages from 1 × 10^13 to 5 × 10^14 cm^-2. Subsequently, platinum dif...
The biggest barrier for photovoltaic (PV) utilization is its high cost, so the key for scale PV utiliza-tion is to further decrease the cost of solar cells. One way to improve the efficiency, and therefore lower the c...
