Pre-annealing for improved LPCVD deposited boron-doped poly-Si hole-selective contacts

Franz-Josef Haug, Luca Massimiliano Antognini, Josua Andreas Stückelberger, Xinyu Zhang, Zhao Wang, Jie Yang

We demonstrate the beneficial effect of a pre-annealing step prior to the boron diffusion on passivation and contact resistivity of industrially LPCVD deposited poly-Si/SiOX hole-selective contacts. We investigate the influence of the pre-annealing tempera ...

Interactions between aluminium and fired passivating contacts during fire-through metallization

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Sofia Libraro, Mario Joe Lehmann

Replacing silver metallization with earth-abundant materials in Si solar cells is a critical step towards the sustainable growth of photovoltaics. In this work, we investigate fire-through processes using Al for the metallization of solar cells with p-type ...

In Situ Reflectometry and Diffraction Investigation of the Multiscale Structure of p-Type Polysilicon Passivating Contacts for c-Si Solar Cells

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Andrea Ingenito, Audrey Marie Isabelle Morisset

The integration of passivating contacts based on a highly doped polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) layer on top of a thin silicon oxide (SiOx) layer has been identified as the next step to further increase the conversion efficiency of current mainstream cry ...

Bulk Defects and Hydrogenation Kinetics in Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells With Fired Passivating Contacts

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Andrea Ingenito, Audrey Marie Isabelle Morisset, Philippe Wyss, Mario Joe Lehmann, Père Roca i Cabarrocas

In this article, the effect of the various processing steps during the fabrication of c-Si/SiOx/SiCx fired passivating contacts on the silicon bulk lifetime is studied, and the kinetics of defect deactivation by hydrogenation is investigated. It is found t ...

Status and perspectives of crystalline silicon photovoltaics in research and industry

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Mathieu Gérard Boccard

Crystalline silicon (c-Si) photovoltaics has long been considered energy intensive and costly. Over the past decades, spectacular improvements along the manufacturing chain have made c-Si a low-cost source of electricity that can no longer be ignored. Over ...

Localisation of front side passivating contacts for direct metallisation of high-efficiency c-Si solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Xavier Niquille, Andrea Ingenito, Sylvain Nicolay, Frank Meyer

In this work, we present the development of passivating contacts based on thin interfacial oxide/doped polysilicon for two side contacted c-Si solar cells. In the first part, we discuss our layer optimization towards direct metallisation, using firing thro ...

Impact of rapid thermal processing on bulk and surface recombination mechanisms in FZ silicon with fired passivating contacts

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Andrea Ingenito, Audrey Marie Isabelle Morisset, Sofia Libraro, Mario Joe Lehmann

We investigate bulk and interface recombination in crystalline silicon with p-type fired passivating contacts. These consist of a chemical oxide and an in-situ doped layer of SiCx with low carbon content. Following a rapid thermal annealing to activate the ...

Nanoscale Study of the Hole-Selective Passivating Contacts with High Thermal Budget Using C-AFM Tomography

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Gizem Nogay, Philipp Friedrich Hermann Löper, Martin Ledinsky

We investigate hole-selective passivating contacts that consist of an interfacial layer of silicon oxide (SiOx) and a layer of boron-doped SiCx(p). The fabrication process of these contacts involves an annealing step at temperatures above 750 degrees C whi ...
