View moreHowever, the solar cells produced using the newly developed diffusion process demonstrated significant advantages in terms of open-circuit voltage and current, although there was a slight decrease in the fill factor. Moreover, a notable improvement in photovoltaic conversion efficiency was observed.
This process is called diffusion and the resulting carrier flow diffusion current. As we did earlier for the case of a photocurrent in a solar cell, it will be more convenient to talk about current densities (expressed in A/cm2) to make the discussion independent of the semiconductor area.
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.
Conclusion In this study, the diffusion process for PERC non-selective emitter solar cells is refined. The modified diffusion protocol includes two added stages: pressure holding and extended annealing time.
The basic processes behind the photovoltaic effect are: collection of the photo-generated charge carriers at the terminals of the junction. In general, a solar cell structure consists of an absorber layer, in which the photons of an incident radiation are efficiently absorbed resulting in a creation of electron-hole pairs.
Employing this optimized diffusion process leads to a 0.05 % increase in the efficiency of PERC solar cells, a 1.3 mV increase in open-circuit voltage, and a 20 mA increase in short-circuit current. The peak cell efficiency attained is 23.68 %, marking a 0.16 % improvement.
