Gallium-Doped Silicon for High-Efficiency Commercial Passivated Emitter and Rear Solar Cells

Nicholas E. Grant et al.

Summary: Czochralski-grown gallium-doped silicon wafers are commonly used for commercial PERC devices due to their enhanced stability. The carrier lifetime of these wafers can reach into the millisecond region without additional processing, showing an advantage over boron-doped silicon. The stability of gallium-doped PERC cells under illumination varies, with some cells exhibiting degradation and recovery resembling LeTID, while others remain stable.

Investigating the viability of PERC solar cells fabricated on Ga- instead of B-doped monocrystalline silicon wafer

Chuanke Chen et al.

Summary: The viability of commercial Ga-doped silicon PERC solar cells has been demonstrated through systematic industrial research, showing high efficiency, low cost, and reliable performance. Statistical analysis indicates that PERC cells fabricated on Ga-doped Cz-Si wafers perform comparably with those made from B-doped Cz-Si wafers. Additionally, Ga-doped PERC cells exhibit greater stability than B-doped cells even under high temperature conditions, making them a cost-effective option for solar cell production.
