Advanced solar cell architectures like passivated emitter and rear (PERC) and heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT) are increasingly sensitive to bulk recombination. Present device models consider homogeneous bulk ...

It is often stated that one of the main advantages of back-contacted (BC) Si solar cells over standard cells is that shading due to the front-finger metallization is avoided - while it is also often stated that BC cells ...

We model currently fabricated industrial-type screen-printed boron-doped Cz silicon solar cells using a combination of process and device simulations. The model reproduces the experimental results precisely and allows us ...

The POCl3 diffusion process is still a common way to create the pn-junction of Si solar cells. Concerning the screen-printing process, it is necessary to find a compromise between low emitter recombination, low contact ...
