Impurities and Defects in Photovoltaic Si Devices: A Review (Preprint)

    Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

    Abstract

    The performance of commercial photovoltaic Si devices is strongly controlled by the impurities and defects present in the substrates. A well-designed solar cell processing sequence can mitigate their effects to yield high efficiency devices. Such a process-design requires a comprehensive knowledge of the properties of defects, impurities, and impurity-defect interactions that can occur duringdevice processing. ; This document reviews the recent understanding of the impurity and defect issues in Si-photovoltaics.
