In this paper, we introduce the status of concentration photovoltaic system. Currently, crystalline silicon solar has 90% of total solar market. But in a few years, the concentration solar system is expected to be main one because cost increasement of silicon material is not stabilized unit now. At 2012, it will take 5% of the whole solar market. Less expensive, material requirement and high system efficiency give high driving force for intensive research on concentration system. It is time for us to initiate the basic study and evaluate the long term stability compared to crystalline silicon system. The detail discussion will be shown in the following paper.

Wafer thickness of crystalline silicon is an important factor which decides a price of solar cell. PC1D was used to fix a condition that is required to get a high efficiency in a crystalline silicon solar cell using thin wafer($150{\mu}m$). In this simulation, base resistivity and emitter doping concentration were used as variables. As a result of the simulation, $V_{oc}$=0.6338(V), $I_{sc}$=5.565(A), $P_{max}$=2.674(W), FF=0.76 and efficiency 17.516(%) were obtained when emitter doping concentration is $5{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$, depth factor is 0.04 and sheet resistance is $79.76{\Omega}/square$.

Silicon nitride($SiN_x:H$) deposited by radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(RF-PECVD) is commonly used for anti-reflection coating and passivation in crystalline silicon solar cell fabrication. In this paper, characteristics of the deposited silicon nitride was studied with change of working pressure, deposition temperature, gas ratio of $NH_3$ and $SiH_4$, and RF power during deposition. The deposition rate, refractive index and effective lifetime were analyzed. The (100) p-type silicon wafers with one-side polished, $660-690{\mu}m$, and resistivity $1-10{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ were used. As a result, when the working pressure increased, the deposition rate of SiNx was increased while the effective life time for the $SiN_x$-deposited wafer was decreased. The result regarding deposition temperature, gas ratio and RF power changes would be explained in detail below. In this paper, the optimized condition in silicon nitride deposition for silicon solar cell was obtained as 1.0 Torr for the working pressure, $400^{\circ}C$ for deposition temperature, 500 W for RF power and 0.88 for $NH_3/SiH_4$ gas ratio. The silicon nitride layer deposited in this condition showed the effective life time of > $1400{\mu}s$ and the surface recombination rate of 25 cm/s. The crystalline silicon solar cell fabricated with this SiNx coating showed 18.1% conversion efficiency.

This paper describes the effect of halogenic gettering during oxide passivation of commercial solar cell with the $N^{+}$-P-$N^{+}$ structure. In order to study the effect of halogenic gettering on $N^{+}$-P-$N^{+}$ structure mono-crystalline silicon solar cell, we performed conventional POCl$_3$ diffusion for emitter formation and oxide passivation in the presence of HCl vapors. The $N^{+}$-P-$N^{+}$ structure based silicon solar cells were found to have higher short circuit current and minority carrier lifetime. Their performance was also found to be superior than the conventional $N^{+}$-P-$N^{+}$ structure based mono-crystalline silicon solar cell. The cell parameters of the $n^{+}$-p-$p^{+}$ and $n^{+}$-p-$n^{+}$ structure based cells, passivated by HCl assisted oxidation were measured. The improvement in $I_{sc}$ was attributed to the effect of the increased diffusion length of minority carriers, which came from the halogenic gettering effect during the growth of passivating oxide. The presence of chlorine caused gettering of the cells by removing the heavy metals, if any. The other advantage of the presence of chlorine was the removal of the diffusion induced (in oxygen environment) stacking faults and line defects from the surfaces of the silicon wafers. All these effects caused the improvement of the minority carrier lifetime, which in-turn helped to improve the quality of the solar cells.

오늘 날 태양전지 산업에서 가장 많은 생산을 하고 있는 분야는 결정질 태양전지분야이다. 현재는 이러한 시대적 요구에 따라 많은 연구가 진행되고 있는데 특히 junction을 이루는 n layer의 doping profile을 선택적으로 형성하여 개방전압 및 단락전류를 향상시키는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 n type layer의 doping profile을 선택적으로 형성하는 selective emitter solar cell에 관한 연구로써 SILVACO simulation을 이용하여 low Rs 영역은 고정하고 high Rs 영역의 doping depth를 가변 함으로써 high Rs 영역을 달리 형성하는 방법으로 selective emitter solar cell의 high Rs영역의 최적화에 관한 전산모사를 실시하였다. 각각의 가변조건에 따라 quantum efficiency를 통한 광학적 분석과 I-V를 통한 전기적 분석을 하여 high Rs영역을 최적화 하였다.

In this study, SiNx and Al₂O₃ thin film was manufactured using PECVD deposition process and applied to crystalline silicon solar cells, resulting in 16.7% conversion efficiency. The structural improvement experiment of the rear electrode resulted in a 1.7% improvement in conversion efficiency compared to the reference cell by reducing the recombination rate of minority carriers and increasing the carrier lifetime by forming a passivation layer consisting of SiNx and Al₂O₃ thin films through the PECVD process.

Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD) is a well established technique for the deposition of hydrogenated film of silicon nitride (SiNx:H), which is commonly used as an antireflection coating as well as passivating layer in crystalline silicon solar cell. PECVD-SiNx:H films were investigated by varying the deposition and annealing conditions to optimize for the application in silicon solar cells. By varying the gas ratio (ammonia to silane), the silicon nitride films of refractive indices 1.85 - 2.45 were obtained. The film deposited at $450^{\circ}C$ showed the best carrier lifetime through the film deposition rate was not encouraging. The film deposited with the gas ratio of 0.57 showed the best carrier lifetime after annealing at a temperature of $800^{\circ}C$. The single crystalline silicon solar cells fabricated in conventional industrial production line applying the optimized film deposition and annealing conditions on large area substrate of size $125mm{\times}125mm$ (pseudo square) was found to have the conversion efficiencies as high as 17.05 %. Low cost and high efficiency silicon solar cells fabrication sequence has also been explained in this paper.
