The SEM and specific contact resistance measurements of the Ag metal contact formed by applying a fire-through process on
the shallow emitter region of the silicon solar cell have been investigated. The metal contact consists of screen-printed
Ag paste patterned on the silicon nitride (Si3N4) deposited over the n+-Si emitter region of the solar cell. The sintering step consists of a rapid firing step at 800 °C or above in air ambient.
This is followed by an annealing step at 450 °C in nitrogen ambient. It enables to drive the Ag metal paste onto the Si3N4 layer and facilitates the formation of an Ag metal/p-Si contact structure. It serves as the top metallization for the screen-printed
silicon solar cell. The SEM measurement shows that sintering of the Ag metal paste at 800 °C or above causes the Ag metal
to firmly coalesce with the underlying n+-Si surface. A thin layer of conductive glassy layer is also presents at the interface of the Ag metal and n+-Si surface. The electrical quality of the contact structure was characterized by measuring the specific contact resistance,
ρ
c
(in Ω-cm2) using the iteration technique based on the power loss calculation for the solar cell. It shows that best value of ρ
c
= 2.53 × 10−5 Ω-cm2 is estimated for the Ag metal contact sintered at temperature above 800 °C. This value of ρ
c
is two orders of magnitude lower than the typical value of ρ
c
= 3 × 10−3 Ω-cm2 reported previously for the Ag contacts of the solar cell. Such low value of ρ
c
for the Ag metal contacts indicates that fire-through process results in excellent ohmic properties. The plot of the ρ
c
versus impurity doping level (N
s
) shows that measured value of the ρ
c
follows a linear relationship with the N
s
as predicted by the theory for the heavily doped semiconductor surface. Hence, carrier injection across the Schottky barrier
height is quite appropriate to explain the observed ohmic properties of the Ag metal contacts on the n+-Si surface of the silicon solar cell.

The present work deals with the mixing of iron and silicon by swift heavy ions in high-energy range. The thin film was deposited
on a n-Si (111) substrate at 10−6 torr and at room temperature. Irradiations were undertaken at room temperature using 120 MeV Au+9 ions at the Fe/Si interface to investigate ion beam mixing at various doses: 5 × 1012 and 5 × 1013 ions/cm2. Formation of different phases of iron silicide has been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, which shows enhancement
of intermixing and silicide formation as a result of irradiation. I-V measurements for both pristine and irradiated samples have been carried out at room temperature, series resistance and barrier
heights for both as deposited and irradiated samples were extracted. The barrier height was found to vary from 0·73–0·54 eV.
The series resistance varied from 102·04–38·61 kΩ. 相似文献

Thin films of silicon dioxide are deposited on ZnO/n-Si substrate at a low temperature using tetra-ethylorthosilicate (TEOS).
The ZnO/n-Si films have been characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The border trap
density (Qbt) and fixed oxide charge density (Qf/q) of the SiO2/ZnO/n-Si films are found to be 3.9 × 1010 cm−2 and 1.048 × 1011 cm−2, respectively. The trapping characteristics and stress induced leakage current (SILC) have also been studied under Fowler-Nordheim
(F-N) constant current stressing. 相似文献

We describe a principally new approach to obtaining solid sources of sulfur for the two-stage diffusion doping of silicon,
which eliminates the surface erosion of wafers. According to the proposed method, 32P radionuclide is diffused into a near-surface region of silicon in the first (introduction) stage and then converted into
32S isotope in the second state. It is shown that the samples of silicon doped by this method with 32S isotope contain deep levels with the ionization energies E
c − 0.13 eV, E
c − 0.25 eV, E
c − 0.37 eV, and E
c − 0.50 eV, which exhibit a donor character and are related to the sulfur impurity. It is established that the diffusion of
32S isotope into p-Si leads to a change in the type of conduction, while the diffusion of this isotope into n-Si decreases the resistivity of the initial material. 相似文献

n-Type ZnO〈Ga〉 films were implanted with 150-keV N+ (As+) ions to a dose of 7 × 1015 cm−2 and then annealed in atomic oxygen at different temperatures. p-Type conductivity was obtained at annealing temperatures in the range 770–870 K. The parameters of the p-type layers were determined by photoluminescence spectroscopy, secondary ion mass spectrometry, and Hall effect measurements.
According to the Hall data, the p-type layers had a resistivity of ∼30 Ω cm, carrier mobility of ∼2 cm2/(V s), and carrier concentration of ∼1018 cm−3. The electroluminescence spectra of the p-n junctions produced by ion implantation showed a band at 440 nm, due to recombination via donor-acceptor pairs. 相似文献

The evolution of vacancy-type defects has been studied by variable-energy positron annihilation spectroscopy (VEPAS) in samples
of high-quality FZ p-type (001) silicon wafers implanted with 4 MeV Si2+ ions at room temperature to doses of 1012–1014 cm−2. The average vacancy concentration increases as (ion dose)0.70 ± 0.06. Progressive isochronal annealing measurements show that open-volume point defects (having a VEPAS signature close to that
for divacancies) anneal between 500–600°C. VEPAS with enhanced depth sensitivity (via progressive etching) verified that single
30 min anneals to 550 and 600°C lead to the formation of buried clusters V
N
with an average N of 3.5 lying between depths of 2.2 and 3.6 μm (both ± 2 μm), close to the peak of vacancy damage just shallower than the
ion range predicted by simulation. The concentration of these clusters increases as (ion dose)2.6 ± 0.1. Single anneals to higher temperatures reduce all open-volume point defect concentrations to below the limit detectable by
VEPAS. 相似文献

In this study, we identically prepared the aniline green/p-Si organic–inorganic devices (total 27 diodes) formed by direct evaporation of an organic compound solution on to a p-Si semiconductor wafer, and then studied the current–voltage (I–V) and capacitance–voltage (C–V) characteristics of these devices. It was seen that the aniline green organic thin film on the p-Si substrate showed a good rectifying behavior. The barrier heights (BHs) and ideality factors of all devices were extracted
from the electrical characteristics. Mean BH and ideality factor were calculated as 0.582 eV and 2.999, respectively from
the I–V characteristics. Additionally, the mean barrier height and mean acceptor doping concentration from C–V measurements were calculated as (0.61 ± 0.10) eV and (5.54 ± 0.68) × 1014 cm−3, respectively. The discrepancy in the BH values obtained from I–V and C–V characteristics has been attributed to different nature of the measurements. This can also be due to the existence of the
interfacial native oxide and the organic aniline green thin layer between the semiconductor and contacting top metal. 相似文献

Two full size strip detectors were investigated in this study: one with p+ strips (p+/n−/n+) and another with n+ strips (n+/p−/p+). Both detectors, are made of magnetic Czochralski silicon (MCz-Si) and irradiated to S-LHC fluencies, were tested with 225 GeV muon beam in the CERN H2 area. The Current Injected Detector (CID) sensors were operated in a cooling box capable of providing a −53 °C temperature. Results indicate a relative charge collection efficiency (CCE) at 5×1015 neq/cm2 above 30% in irradiated p+/n−/n+ CID detector at 600 V bias voltage. The signal to noise ratio of this CID module was about eight and a forward current of 30 μA was needed for detector biasing. In standard reverse bias, the same detector could not provide a sufficiently large signal for particle tracking purposes. A p-type (n+/p−/p+) sensor was irradiated to a fluence of 2×1015 neq/cm2 and measured under the same test beam conditions. According to the theory of CIDs developed by the CERN RD39 Collaboration, this detector module could be biased up to only 230 V due to the low irradiation fluence. The CCE at 230 V was 35% in CID operation and 20% when reverse biased. 相似文献

Metal-dielectric-semiconductor (MDS) structures with aluminum nitride (AlN) as a tunnel dielectric based on high-ohmic p-type silicon substrates have been studied. The samples were characterized with respect to the charge collection efficiency
and energy resolution on probing with 5.4-MeV α particles. In addition, the nature of noises and the state of the AlN-p-Si interface were investigated. It is established that the parameters of these MDS structures as radiation detectors are
close to those of widely used Schottky-barrier detectors based on n-Si (Au-n-Si). A decrease in the concentration of deep centers at the AlN-p-Si interface allows the proposed MDS structures to compete successfully with n-Si based detectors, which is due to a higher purity of the initial material. 相似文献

BF2 ion implantation through surface oxides has been investigated to form shallow p+/n junctions. BF2 ion implantation was performed at 25 keV at a dose of 5.4 × 1014cm−2 through surface oxides of different thicknesses into crystalline silicon. Rapid thermal annealing (1000°C/10 s) was used for dopant activation and radiation damage removal. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) was used to obtain the boron and fluorine distribution profiles. p+/n junctions as shallow as 0.12 μm were formed with reasonable sheet resistance. The study shows that, as expected, dopant loss in the surface oxide during ion implantation results in higher values of sheet resistance. Out-diffusion of fluorine during RTA resulted in a fluorine loss of 50 to 65% from the silicon. Also, fluorine was found to segregate at the oxide/silicon interface. 相似文献

The kinetics of carbohydrazide oxidation with nitric acid in aqueous solutions was studied. In the range [HNO3] = 3–7 M, the reaction rate is described by the equation −d[(NH2NH)2CO]/dt = k[(NH2NH)2CO][HNO3]
n
, where n = 3.6 and 2.9 at 70 and 90°C, respectively. The constant k = (6.65 ± 0.23) × 10−4 l2.9 mol−2.9 h−1 at 90°C, and the activation energy of the reaction in 7 M HNO3 is 124 kJ mol−1. The Fe(III) and especially Tc(VII) ions considerably accelerate the reaction, whereas the uranyl ions accelerate it insignificantly.
The reaction mechanism in which the reactive species oxidizing carbohydrazide is nitronium ion NO2+ was suggested. 相似文献

Powders of magnesium-modified as well as zinc-modified calcium phosphates (Me-β-TCP and HA) with a (Ca2++Mg2++Zn2++Na++K+)/P ratio of 1.3–1.4 and various Me2+/(Me2++Ca2+) ratios (from 0.005 to 0.16) were prepared in biomimetic electrolyte systems at pH 8, mother liquid maturation and further
syntering at 600–1000°C. Some differences in zinc and magnesium modifications have been prognosed on the basis of thermodynamic
modeling of the studied systems and explained by the Mg2+ and Zn2+ ion chemical behaviour. The temperature as well as the degree of Zn2+ and Mg2+ ions substitutions were found to stabilize the β-TCP structure and this effect was more prononced for zinc. Thus, zinc-modified
β-TCP powders consisting of idiomorphic crystals were obtained through sintering of Zn2+ ion substituted calcium phosphates precursors at 800–1000°C. The Mg2+ ion substitution leads to obtaining magnesium-modified β-TCP with spherical grains. 相似文献

Defect formation processes in silicon implanted with ∼1 MeV/nucleon boron, oxygen, and argon ions have been studied using
microhardness and Hall effect measurements. The results indicate that ion implantation increases the surface strength of silicon
single crystals owing to the formation of electrically inactive interstitials through the diffusion of self-interstitials
from the implantation-damaged layer to the silicon surface. The radiation-induced surface hardening depends significantly
on the nature of the ion, its energy, and the implant dose. In the case of low-Z (boron) ion implantation, the effect had a maximum at an implant dose of ∼5 × 1014 cm−2, whereas that for O+ and Ar+ ions showed no saturation even at the highest dose reached, 1 × 1016 cm−2. When the ion energy was increased to ∼3 MeV/nucleon (210-MeV Kr+ ion implantation), we observed an opposite effect, surface strength loss, due to the predominant generation of vacancy-type
defects. 相似文献

A method was developed for precise determination of oxygen isotope ratios in uranium oxides. Thermal ionisation mass spectrometry (TIMS) was used for direct measurements of n(U1
8O+)/n(U1
6O+) using the molecular species UO+. Suitable sample handling and filament preparation techniques were developed in order to obtain reproducible results and avoid oxygen contamination. The actual measurements were performed using the total evaporation method. By this technique the achieved precision for n(U1
8O+)/n(U1
6O+) measurements was in the range of 0.04%. The peak jump techniques was also used for measurements, and the results of both techniques are discussed. The TIMS measurement are verified by comparative measurements using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). 相似文献

We have performed a series of statistically designed experiments to evaluate the changes which occur in silicon samples as a result of hydrogen ion bombardment. Single-crystal silicon and polycrystalline silicon, and also edge-defined film-fed growth (EFG) solar cell devices, were exposed to a hydrogen ion beam produced by a Kaufman ion source. The experimental parameters which were systematically varied include the maximum hydrogen ion energy (900, 1600 and 2300 eV), the energy spread of the ions in the beam, the ion current density (0.8, 1.4 and 2.0 mA cm?2), the total dose (1 × 1018, 2 × 1018 and 4 × 1018 ions cm?2) and the bulk sample temperature during bombardment (200, 275 and 350 °C). We observed the changes in the short-circuit current, the open-circuit voltage, the photovoltaic conversion efficiency and the fill factor associated with the EFG devices, the change in the spectral reflectivity of the single-crystal silicon samples and the ratio of the numbers of SiH to SiH2 groups present in the polycrystalline silicon samples. The results of our study indicate that the properties of hydrogen-ion-bombarded silicon change with both the maximum ion energy and the ion current density with a significant parametric interaction between the current density and the bulk sample temperature.The energy distribution of the ions present in the hydrogen ion beam affects the spectral reflectivity of single-crystal silicon. The changes associated with hydrogen ion bombardment are independent of dose for the conditions studied. The average absolute air mass 1 efficiency of EFG devices without intentionally applied antireflective coatings increased from 8.7% before exposure to 10.2% after exposure to the optimal conditions determined by this study. 相似文献

A macroporous silicon layer (ma-PS) electrochemically grown on crystalline silicon surface can be used as an efficient antireflective
layer in optical devices as antireflection coating. In this work, we presented the ma-PS layers fabricated on crystalline
silicon (c-Si) n-type and p
+-type, obtained by electrochemical etching. The morphology, porosity, thickness of ma-PS layer can be adjusted by controlling
the electrochemical formation conditions. The optical behaviour of the antireflective coating over the solar spectrum is determined,
resulting in very low values of the normalized reflectivity coefficient (below ~1%). The reflectivity measurements were evaluated
at 45° in the different samples of the ma-PS/c-Si. 相似文献

The formation of shallow hydrogen donors in epitaxial silicon implanted with 300-keV hydrogen ions has been studied at implant
doses from 1013 to 6 × 1015 cm−2, using commercial Mo-Si Schottky diodes with the active base region made of epitaxial phosphorus-doped silicon 5 μ m in thickness
(ρ = 1.05 and 1.8 Ω cm). The results demonstrate that, at sufficiently high implant doses (F ∼ 1015 cm−2) and temperatures from 350 to 475 °C, there are at least two types of donors, one of which exhibits bistable behavior due
to the negative correlation energy of a singly ionized doubly charged donor. At ∼475°C, the bistable H donor is fully annealed,
whereas the concentration of stable donors remains unchanged at temperatures from 350 to 475°C. Under fixed post-implantation
heat-treatment conditions (350°, 20 min), it is the implant dose that determines which type of H donor will form: at doses
in the range 1013 to 1014 cm −2, H donors of the former type are formed, and the maximum in their profile coincides with the projected ion range; implant
doses from 1014 to 1015 cm−2 produce H donors of the latter type, and the peak in their profile is located closer to the irradiated surface, in the region
of the highest radiation damage. 相似文献
