AI Customer ServiceThermal boron diffusion is one of the widely used methods for emitter formation due to its simplicity and productivity. During the diffusion process, a boron-rich layer (BRL) is naturally formed on the boron emitter surface. The properties of BRL have not been investigated thoroughly.
Drawing upon the boron-aluminum diffusion principle , it can be inferred that this adhesive layer primarily comprises residual boron oxide and residual aluminum oxide that did not fully diffuse into the silicon wafer, along with silicon and oxygen formed from the diffusion of boron-aluminum into the silicon wafer.
Empirical studies have shown that in silicon doped with boron, the diffusion of aluminum is enhanced due to the Fermi level effect [16, 17], and the diffusion coefficient of aluminum is approximately three times that of gallium and an order of magnitude larger than that of boron .
Second, in both the BSG formation and boron diffusion steps, a low oxygen (O 2) concentration of <10% in ambience was beneficial in view of avoiding excessive oxidation of the Si surface, while in the oxidation step, nearly pure oxygen (100%) ambience was preferable to burn organic components.
Taking into consideration that the industrially acceptable R sheet for p-emitters is from 60 to 100 Ω/□ and higher temperatures may cause more defects in silicon wafers, the optimal temperature for the boron diffusion step was selected to be 970 °C.
To investigate the impact of the doping layer obtained through boron-aluminum source diffusion on TOPCon solar cells, we simulated the ECV curve as a variable in the Quokka3 software, The raw data used in this simulation are all from the textured group.
