Large-area bifacial n-TOPCon solar cells with in situ phosphorus-doped LPCVD poly-Si passivating contacts

Meric Firat et al.

Summary: This work demonstrates the potential of passivating contacts incorporating in situ phosphorus-doped polycrystalline silicon films in large-area bifacial solar cells. The in situ doped poly-Si films exhibited excellent characteristics with low recombination current densities and contact resistivity. The best solar cell achieved a certified power conversion efficiency of 23.01% and a high open circuit voltage, enabled by the passivating contacts with the in situ doped poly-Si films.

Implementation and understanding of p plus fired rear hole selective tunnel oxide passivating contacts enabling > 22% conversion efficiency in p-type c-Si solar cells

Andrea Ingenito et al.

Summary: Passivating contacts are crucial for high efficiency c-Si solar cells, with microstructural layer properties playing a major role in surface passivation and charge carrier transport. Temperature-dependent measurements reveal different transport mechanisms for crystalline and amorphous FPC layers, showing the potential for improved efficiency in solar cells employing FPC as a hole selective rear side passivating contact.

Changes in hydrogen concentration and defect state density at the poly-Si/SiOx/c-Si interface due to firing

Christina Hollemann et al.

Summary: The study determined the density of defect states in poly-Si/SiOx/c-Si junctions and found that the hydrogen concentration at the SiOx/c-Si interface increased during firing, exceeding the defect concentrations several times. However, the thickness of the AlOx layer may cause an increase in hydrogen concentration at the SiOx/c-Si interface instead of exhibiting a hydrogen-blocking property.

Mechanisms of charge carrier transport in polycrystalline silicon passivating contacts

L. Galleni et al.

Summary: In this study, temperature-dependent contact resistivity measurements were used to assess electron transport mechanisms in poly-Si passivating contacts. The results showed a transition from tunneling to drift-diffusion transport via pinholes in the SiOx layer with increasing annealing temperature. This transition was found to occur for different oxide thicknesses and oxidation methods.

Controlling Diffusion in Poly-Si Tunneling Junctions for Monolithic Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Solar Cells

Christoph Luderer et al.

Summary: The study investigates the performance of a low-resistive p(+)/n(+) poly-Si tunneling junction based on a tunnel oxide passivating contact, focusing on the thermal budget of the post-deposition treatment. By carbon-alloying poly-Si layers and using diffusion blocking interlayers, the contact resistivity can be reduced without compromising passivation quality, allowing for industrially feasible perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells.

Design rules for high-efficiency both-sides-contacted silicon solar cells with balanced charge carrier transport and recombination losses

Armin Richter et al.

Summary: Front- and back-junction silicon photovoltaics dominate the market due to lower manufacturing complexity, but achieving efficiency improvements remains challenging. An optimized design by Richter et al. has led to a 26.0%-efficient cell. While interdigitated back-contact cells offer the highest efficiency, both-sides-contacted cells are preferred in industrial production for their simplicity.

Polysilicon passivated junctions: The next technology for silicon solar cells?

Di Yan et al.

Summary: Research has shown that using polysilicon (poly-Si) passivated junctions can achieve higher efficiency in crystalline silicon solar cells, with this technology already widely used in the industry and proven successful. While polysilicon junctions have great potential for development, issues related to cost and metallization processes still need to be addressed.

TOPCon-Technology options for cost efficient industrial manufacturing

Bishal Kafle et al.

Summary: This paper discusses cost-driven strategies towards industrial manufacturing of TOPCon-based solar cells, evaluating various process routes and pointing out uneven distribution of capital and operational costs in the production process. The study finds that TOPCon concepts can remain economically competitive against bifacial PERC if a minimum absolute gain in cell efficiency is maintained.
