    摘要: An improved method of fabricating an interdigitated back contact (IBC) solar cell is disclosed. A first mask is used to perform a patterned ion implantation of n-type dopant to create the back surface field. A second mask is then used to create the p-type emitter on the same surface. The second mask may be aligned to the n-type implant, and may be used in a plurality of orientations to create the desired p-type emitter. In some embodiments, a p-type blanket implant is performed as well. In some embodiments, a doping gradient is created.

    摘要: Methods of doping a solar cell, particularly a point contact solar cell, are disclosed. One surface of a solar cell may require portions to be n-doped, while other portions are p-doped. At least one lithography step can be eliminated by the use of a blanket doping of species having one conductivity and a patterned counterdoping process of species having the opposite conductivity. The areas doped during the patterned implant receive a sufficient dose so as to completely reverse the effect of the blanket doping and achieve a conductivity that is opposite the blanket doping. In some embodiments, counterdoped lines are also used to reduce lateral series resistance of the majority carriers.

    摘要: An improved solar cell is disclosed. To create the internal p-n junction, one surface of the substrate is implanted with ions. After the implantation, the substrate is thermally treated. The thermal process distributes the dopant throughout the substrate, while repairing crystal damage caused by implantation. After the thermal process, residual crystal damage may remain, which adversely impacts solar cell efficiency. In order to further reduce the residual damage, the uppermost portion of the surface is then removed, thereby eliminating that portion of the substrate where most of the defects reside. The lower defect concentration reduces recombination and improves efficiency of the solar cell.

    摘要: Electronic devices involving contact structures, and related components, systems and methods associated therewith are described. Contact structures (also referred to as electrical contact structures or electrodes) are features on a device that are electrically connected to a power source. The power source can provide current to the device via the contact structures. The contact structures can be designed to improve current distribution in electronic devices. For example, the contact resistance of the contacts may be modified to improve current distribution (e.g., by controlling the shape and/or structure and/or composition of the contacts). The contact structures may include an intervening layer (e.g., a non-ohmic layer) positioned between a surface of the device and a conductive portion extending from a conductive pad. The intervening layer and/or conductive portions may be designed to have certain shapes (e.g., non-linear shapes) that promote current flow from the conductive pad towards the ends of the contacts to increase current spreading. The intervening layer can also reduce light generation underneath the light absorbing contacts to allow a greater percentage of the generated light to emerge from the surface of the device. Advantageously, devices including contact structures of the invention can increase uniformity of light emission and/or otherwise improve performance. As such, these contact structures are particularly suitable for use in a variety of light-emitting devices, including LEDs.

    摘要: An improved method of manufacturing a polysilicon solar cell is disclosed. To create the polysilicon layer, which has p-type and n-type regions, the layer is grown in the presence of one type of dopant. After the doped polysilicon layer has been created, ions of the opposite dopant conductivity are selectively implanted into portions of the polysilicon layer. This selective implant may be performed using a shadow mask.
