    Abstract: A method for forming a doped silicon layer or a silicon alloy includes providing a silicon substrate having a silicon surface. An eutectic-former layer with dopant is formed on the silicon surface. Heating is conducted past a system eutectic temperature of the eutectic-former layer and silicon to form a liquid eutectic melt that incorporates some of the silicon near-surface into the liquid eutectic melt. Cooling to supersaturate the liquid eutectic melt with silicon and recrystallize silicon doped with the dopant. A silicon solar cell includes an emitter layer within a silicon substrate. A p-n junction is defined by a junction of the emitter layer with the remaining silicon substrate. The emitter has a doping profile with a doping concentration at the p-n junction that is equal or greater than the doping concentration at a surface of the emitter layer.

    Abstract: A photovoltaic device having three dimensional (3D) charge separation and collection, where charge separation occurs in 3D depletion regions formed between a p-type doped group III-nitride material in the photovoltaic device and intrinsic structural imperfections extending through the material. The p-type group III-nitride alloy is compositionally graded to straddle the Fermi level pinning by the intrinsic structural imperfections in the material at different locations in the group III-nitride alloy. A field close to the surfaces of the intrinsic defects separates photoexcited electron-hole pairs and drives the separated electrons to accumulate at the surfaces of the intrinsic defects. The intrinsic defects function as n-type conductors and transport the accumulated electrons to the material surface for collection. The compositional grading also creates a potential that drives the accumulated separated electrons toward an n-type group III-nitride layer for collection. The p-type group III-nitride alloy may comprise an alloy of InGaN, InAlN or InGaAlN.
