In our work we demonstrate the ability of SSRM (Scanning Spreading Resistance Microscopy) as a technique that visualizes two dimensional dopant distribution maps with high lateral resolution and a high dynamic range. The method is applied to a completely processed multi crystalline silicon solar cell sample exhibiting high ohmic emitter areas between the front metallization grid and a low ohmic emitter underneath the front metal grid. After measuring the device under test, a known calibration sample was scanned to correlate SSRM amplifier output values to actual dopant distribution information. Expected differences in dopant concentration and depth of the emitter are examined.
