Abstract
T wo cleaning met hods (SC 1,2 and SPM) before passivation and four boron sources two kinds of spin on boron dopant and
two types of PECVD deposited boron dopant and three kinds of rear PECVD deposited boron dopant layers (abbreviated as
SiO 2 ( B), SiN x (B) and a Si ( a re investigated SPM was selected as the cost effective cleaning method . PECVD deposited
p type layer doped by diborane ( B 2 H 6 was chosen. SiO 2 (B) layers with different thicknesses were investigated and 100nm i s
suitable. Moreover , SiN x (B) layers with different refractive ind ic es were studied and 2.1 is better. Finally, f iring conditions
were d iscuss ed for cells with a Si ( 19.8% efficiency was achieved with 400 ℃℃, 1100mm/min firing.
