We have identified that the increased R S in both PERC and TOPCon solar cells, following the application of a forward bias at elevated temperatures, is related to a severe increase in contact resistance between the Ag contact and the n + silicon region.
We show that contact resistance in PERC cells occurs between the Ag contact and the n + silicon region at the front surface. We also report the first observation of increased contact resistance in industrial n-type TOPCon solar cells, likely linked to H dynamics.
The concept of contact resistance is developed and contact resistance data for several different contact materials on both silicon and gallium arsenide over a range of doping densities are summarized. Finally, the requirements imposed by solar cells on contact resistance are detailed. Content may be subject to copyright.
Recent results have shown that severe surface-related degradation in TOPCon solar cells can be mitigated by annealing treatments at temperatures similar to those explored herein. Therefore, identifying contact resistance in TOPCon cells may have a profound impact on further studies exploring degradation mitigation pathways in TOPCon cells. 1.
The response to applied bias in PERC and TOPCon is different. These insights are important for further TOPCon degradation studies. In this article we investigate the observation of increased contact resistance in both PERC and TOPCon solar cells linked to hydrogen dynamics at the interface.
