In-situ LID and electrical-injection regeneration of PERC solar cells made from different positions of a boron-doped Cz-Si ingot
Five groups of silicon wafers were cut from a commercial solar-grade boron-doped Czochralski silicon (Cz-Si) ingot from top to bottom with a certain distance, and made into PERC (passivated emitter and rear cell) solar cells by using the standard industrial process. Then, as-prepared PERC solar cells were treated by dark annealing (200 ℃, 30 min), the 1st LID (45 ℃, 1 sun, 12 h), electric-injection regeneration (175 ℃, 18 A, 30 min) and the 2nd LID (45 ℃, 1 sun, 12 h) in order, and the changes of performance during the process were measured. The results show that the LID (light induced degradation) and regeneration of the PERC solar cells are dominated by those of B-O defects, while dissociation of Fe-B pairs plays a secondary role. The relative degradation rate of 7.03%~9.69% in efficiency during the 1st LID results from the LID caused by B-O defects and the dissociation of Fe-B pairs, while the relative degradation rate of 0.43%~0.81% in efficiency during 2nd LID is solely caused by the dissociation of Fe-B pairs. B-O defects inside PERC solar cells can be completely passivated by the electric injection regeneration, and the passivated B-O defects are stable under the conditions of 2nd LID. PERC solar cells made from the middle of the Czochralski silicon ingot have higher efficiency and open circuit voltage and lower relative degradation rate. In addition, only the spectral response of PERC solar cells in medium and long wavelength range is affected by the LID and regeneration treatment.
