LID and regeneration of PERC solar cells fabricated on different silicon wafers from one boron-doped Czochralski silicon rod
In order to investigate the variation of light-induced-degradation (LID) and regeneration of industrial Passivated Emitter and Rear Cells (PERC solar cells) with the positions of silicon wafers on a silicon rod, six groups of silicon wafers were cut from one industrial boron-doped Cz-Si rod from top to bottom with a certain distance. After measuring concentration of boron, oxygen, carbon and transition metal impurities as well as minority carrier lifetime, the wafers were made into PERC solar cells using standard industrial processes. Then, the changes of their parameters with time were measured by using a solar cell I-V characteristic tester during the 1st LID (45 ℃, 1 sun, 12 h), regeneration (100 ℃, 1 sun, 24 h) and 2nd LID (45 ℃, 1 sun, 12 h). The results show that the PERC solar cells made from bottom silicon wafers show the largest rising extent in efficiency, open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current during the regeneration, and possess the highest efficiencies with only slight LID at the initial stage during the 2nd LID. The results demonstrate that the regeneration treatment with the condition of 100 ℃, 1sun light intensity, and 24 hours can nearly completely inactivate B-O defects inside the PERC solar cells. The slight LID of the efficiencies at the initial stage of the 2nd LID process can be attributed to the boon-oxygen defects not reaching regeneration state yet, which confirm that boron oxygen defects at the regeneration state have good anti-LID performance at the meantime.
