Silicon-based passivating contacts: The TOPCon route

Stefan W. Glunz et al.

Summary: This paper provides an overview of the potential of passivating contacts based on poly-Si/SiOx structures known as TOPCon in improving the efficiency of crystalline silicon solar cells. It discusses the historical development of such contact structures and describes the current state-of-the-art in laboratory and industry. The paper also addresses four different research topics related to TOPCon technology, including re-parametrization of recombination in silicon, control of dopant diffusion, single-sided deposition of the poly-Si layer, and the fabrication of silicon-based tunnel junctions for perovskite-silicon tandem cells.

On the quantification of Auger recombination in crystalline silicon

Lachlan E. Black et al.

Summary: The study quantifies the ambipolar Auger coefficient C-amb in crystalline silicon by exploiting the injection dependence of surface recombination with highly charged dielectric films. The determined value of C-amb is found to be independent of the dopant concentration for moderately doped samples near 300 K. The study also offers a revised parameterisation of the Auger recombination rate in c-Si based on the findings, which is consistent with recent record lifetimes reported by other authors.

Reassessment of the intrinsic bulk recombination in crystalline silicon

T. Niewelt et al.

Summary: This study characterizes and optimizes next-generation silicon solar cell concepts by accurately assessing intrinsic recombination in crystalline silicon. By fabricating high-quality silicon sample sets and considering reabsorption effects, the researchers were able to extract the lifetime limitation due to Auger recombination. The revised fundamental limiting power conversion efficiency for single-junction crystalline silicon solar cells provides greater accuracy and alignment with actual recombination processes in silicon-based photovoltaics.

Daniel Chen et al.

Summary: The commercially dominant PV-device technology based on PERC design developed at UNSW is facing performance losses due to carrier-induced degradation known as LeTID, with the root cause still unknown. Mitigation methods involving hydrogenation have been suggested to meet consumer demands for sustained cell performance and minimized LCOE.

Revised parametrization of the recombination velocity at SiO2/SiNx-passivated phosphorus-diffused surfaces

Andreas Wolf et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the effective surface recombination velocity of alkaline textured, Phosphorus-diffused, and thermal SiO2/SiNx passivated surfaces with an emphasis on the impact of the thermal oxidation temperature. By applying a recent calibration procedure for carrier lifetime measurements, precise determination of the dark saturation current density was achieved. Experimental results from various diffusion/oxidation process combinations provide a dataset for revising the parameterization of the effective surface recombination velocity and investigating the impact of oxidation temperature on passivation quality, including the modeling of fixed surface charges.

On the Influence of the Sample Properties on the Measurement of the Implied Open-Circuit Voltage

Bernd Steinhauser et al.

Summary: The implied voltage iV(OC) is a crucial parameter for evaluating the electronic quality of solar cell test samples, but it can be significantly influenced by various factors such as sample properties and interface quality. This study demonstrates that even minor changes in sample properties can result in a notable deviation in iV(OC), and when multiple influences are combined, this difference can further amplify.

Extraordinarily High Minority Charge Carrier Lifetime Observed in Crystalline Silicon

Bernd Steinhauser et al.

Summary: Recent advancements in surface passivation technology and wafer pretreatment have significantly improved the achievable minority charge carrier lifetime in crystalline silicon. The main limitation identified in this study is likely caused by silicon bulk recombination, possibly due to impurities. Despite these limitations, the measured lifetimes on p-type and n-type crystalline silicon wafers exceed previously reported values.
