| Popis: | The diffusion of phosphorus and aluminum in a single-step thermal process may reduce the production cost of multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) solar cells. The goal of this paper is to analyze the influence of phosphorus diffusion parameters on the electrical characteristics of p-type mc-Si solar cells processed with a single-step diffusion of phosphorus and aluminum. To avoid the wafer bowing during aluminum paste firing, the aluminum was deposited by e-beam and co-diffused in the same thermal step that the phosphorus diffusion. First, the aluminum diffusion was performed and, then, the POCl3 was introduced into the quartz tube. The steps of the phosphorus diffusion were experimentally optimized. The best result was found with the temperature of 875 ºC. The POCl3 concentration of 0.15 % and the optimized phosphorus diffusion parameters lead to the efficiency of 14.1%. The reduction of the oxygen flow during ramp temperature and aluminum diffusion improved the efficiency. |
