Under the influence of the front surface field, the Jsc, Voc, FF, and Eff of IBC-SHJ solar cells increase gradually with the increase of the doping concentration of n + a-Si: H on the front surface and the increase of the charge density of SiNx.
Analysis of the diffused front surface field of n-type silicon solar cells with a-Si/c-Si heterojunction rear emitter F. Granek, M. Hermle, C. Reichel, A. Grohe, O. Schultz-Wittmann, S. Glunz Positive effects of front surface field in high-efficiency back-contact back-junction n-type silicon solar cells
For the SiNx, the presence of a fixed positive charge can create a front surface field. The intensity and distribution of the FSF are affected by the distribution of the fixed charge.
By adding a selective FSF structure the conversion efficiency of the n -type solar cells can be further improved. Our proposal enables the doping concentration of the emitter and the FSF to be adjustable independently without affecting the ohmic contacts on both sides.
As a start point of solar cell fabrication, the n++ fraction was set to about 0.1 with a 1.5-mm grid pitch processed by the laser doping with the spot size of ~0.15 mm, which could result in a J0, S-FSF of ~40 fA/cm 2. Fig. 5. Saturation current density of the selective FSF as a function of the laser-doped n++ fraction to the whole FSF area. 3.2.
The relatively lower surface concentrations of about 1 × 10 19 cm -3 have been obtained for both FSF (noncontact area) and emitter, which are the lowest, to our knowledge, in fabrication of screen-printed n -type Si solar cells and lead to the J0, S-FSF of ~40 fA/cm 2 and the J0e of ~30 fA/cm 2.
