Abstract | The utilisation of progressively thinner wafers for solar cells leads to an increasing importance of rear surface passivation. In this work we investigate different solar cell processes for industrial rear side passivated solar cells using silicon nitride (SiN) on both sides and screen printed contacts. All solar cells were made by phosphorus emitter diffusion on p-type wafers. For a sufficient rear surface passivation, a parasitic rear emitter must be avoided. Therefore, we carefully compared different processes comprising rear SiN as barrier during phosphorus diffusion as well as parasitic emitter removal by etching after phosphorus diffusion. Furthermore two processes for rear side contacting through a silicon nitride layer were tested. The first process is firing of a screen printed aluminium grid through the backside SiN. The second process uses laser ablation to open a thick rear SiN followed by a full area screen printed rear contact. Additionally, a possible degradation of the SiN due to firing of aluminium contact fingers through the SiN layer was investigated using minority carrier lifetime topography before and after firing of the wafers. Efficiencies of up to 14.7 % were obtained on 200 mum thick wafers using SiN layers on both sides. However, these processes are still excelled by the conventional solar cell process using a screen printed full area aluminium rear contact, which lead to an efficiency of 15.3 % on a 200 mum thick neighbouring wafer |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
