This gives room for using lower quality (and lower cost) silicon material to fabricate the wafers, knowing that they will be further purified during the solar cell fabrication. The diffusion process happens on all the wafer surfaces, creating unwanted doping at the rear and edges of the wafer.
p> The rate at which diffusion occurs depends on the velocity at which carriers move and on the distance between scattering events. It is termed diffusivity and is measured in cm 2 s -1. Values for silicon, the most used semiconductor material for solar cells, are given in the appendix.
Values for silicon, the most used semiconductor material for solar cells, are given in the appendix. Since raising the temperature will increase the thermal velocity of the carriers, diffusion occurs faster at higher temperatures. A single particle in a box will eventually be found at any random location in the box.
A solar cell fabrication process uses several high-temperature steps including a phosphorus diffusion process and a metal contact firing. The silicon wafer is p-type doped to 1 · 10 15 cm −3. The required surface doping and depth for the diffused part of the pn junction are 1 · 10 19 cm −3 and 200 nm, respectively.
The diffusion process consists of introducing the impurity atoms from a source, typically a gas precursor molecule, in the silicon wafer surface and then diffusing them to create the doping profile desired. Diffusion refers to movement of particles in random directions.
Therefore, the next step in the fabrication process after diffusion consists of a wet etch process to remove the unwanted diffused layers at the rear and edge of the wafer, and the PSG or BSG and first nanometers of the front side of the diffused layer. 5.2.3. Antireflective coating deposition
