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.

$ALU^+$ 태양전지는 PN접합을 후면에서 즉, Al을 소성하여 형성시키기 때문에 얼마나 균일하고 두껍게 형성하는 것이 가장 중요하다. 소성(Firing)은 태양전지 제조 과정에서 후면의 접촉을 위한 중요한 공정이다. 본 연구에서는 상업화가 가능한 n-type $ALU^+$ Emitter 태양전지에서 소성 횟수에 따른 특성을 연구 하였다. $ALU^+$ emitter 형성의 최적화를 위해 소성온도를 가변하고, 최적화된 온도에서 소성 횟수에 따른 DIV 측정을 통해 셀을 분석 하였다. 소성 횟수는 1~3회로 하였고, 그 결과 단락전류 밀도(Jsc)가 33.57mA/$cm^2$로 처음보다 15.1%증가 하였고, 곡선인자(Fill Factor)는 3회에서 66.04%로 218%증가 하였다. Al을 짧은 시간 안에 소성을 시키므로 해서 후면의 $P^+$ Emitter가 균일하게 형성되었기 때문에 개방전압(Voc)의 증가를 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 $ALU^+$ 태양전지의 후면 Aluminium 소성 조건의 최적화를 통하여 $ALU^+$ emitter가 충분히 형성되지 못하면 누설전류가 발생되고 직렬저항(Rs)이 크게 증가하여 개방전압(Voc) 및 단락전류밀도(Jsc)의 감소가 발생하게 되고, 직렬저항(Rs)의 증가와 병렬저항(Rsh)의 감소는 Fill Factor의 급격한 감소를 초래하게 됨을 알 수 있다. 이를 개선하면 태양전지 효율을 상승시키는 결과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this study, we propose a design method to optimize the electro-optical efficiency of a planar solar cell structure by adjusting one-dimensionally periodic emitter electrodes. Since the aperture ratio of the active layer decreases as the period of the emitter electrode decreases, the amount of light absorption diminishes, affecting the performance of the device. Here we design the optimal structure of the periodic emitter electrode in a simple planar solar cell, by simulation. In terms of optics, we find the condition that shows optical performance similar to that of a reference without the emitter electrode. In addition, the optimized electrode structure is extracted considering both the optical and electrical efficiency. This work will help to increase the utilization of solar cells by suggesting a structure that can most efficiently transfer charge generated by photoelectric conversion to the electrodes.

Rapid thermal processing (RTP) abruptly decreases the time required to perform solar cell processes. RTP were used to form emitter of crystalline silicon solar cells. The emitter sheet resistance is studied as a function of time and temperature. The objective of this study is reduction of doping process time with same performance. Emitter difRapid thermal dfusion was carried out by using a spin on doping and a RTP. iffusion was performed in the temperature range of $700{\sim}750^{\circ}C$ for 1m 30s~15 m. Thermal budgets yielded a $50{\Omega}/sq$ emitter using a P509 source. To reduce process time and get high efficiency, rapid thermal diffusion by IR lamp was employed in air atmosphere at $700^{\circ}C$ for 15 m.

최근에 전면 emitter의 doping profile이 다른 selective emitter solar cell은 실제 제작시단파장 영역에서 많은 gain을 얻을 수 없어 LBC 구조의 태양전지에 관한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 TCAD simulation을 이용하여 후면에 형성되는 locally doped BSF(p++) region의 doping profile의 변화에 따른 태양전지 특성에 관한 연구이다. Al으로 형성되는 local back contact의 doping depth 및 surface concentration에 따른 전기적, 광학적 분석을 통해 주도적인 인자를 분석하고 최적화하였다. 특히 doping depth에 따른 변화보다는 surface concentration의 변화에 따른 특성변화가 주도적으로 나타났다.

Solar cell's efficiency depends on silicon's characteristic itself, or additional process such as texturing, coating, etc. Using PC1D, by adjusting Texturing, Base Resistivity, Emitter Doping, simulate many situation and observe the result.

This paper considers the problem of time difference-of-arrival(TDOA) source localization when the TDOA and angle of arrival(AOA) measurements from an airborne emitter source are subject to ground-platform sensor position. The optimization of sensors' position is a challenging problem and a solution with good localization accuracy has yet to be found. This paper proposes an estimator that can achieve these purposes and provides optimized sensor position for good localization accuracy using the proposed estimator. The developed algorithm and sensor position are then examined under the special case of a single airborne source. The theoretical developments are supported by simulations.

The net effect of the emitter orientation, Mie scatters, and pillow lenses on the outcoupling efficiency (OCE) of a bottom-emitting OLED having an internal photonic crystal layer was investigated by a combined optical simulation based on the finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD) and the ray-tracing technique. The simulation showed that when the emitter orientation was horizontal with respect to the OLED surface, the OCE could be increased by 54% when a photonic crystal layer was employed, while it could be improved by 86% under optimized conditions of Mie scatters and pillow lenses applied to the glass substrate. The peculiar intensity distribution of the OLED, caused by the periodic lattice structure of the photonic crystal layer, could be ameliorated by inserting Mie scatters into the glass substrate. This study suggests that conventional outcoupling structures combined with control of the emitter orientation could improve the OCE substantially.

Effects of the emitter degeneration on linearity have been investigated in SiGe HBT double-balanced up-converters with the Gilbert-cell structure. The emitter-coupled degeneration resistors have been optimized for high P1-dB and IP3 through the nonlinear harmonic-balance simulation. Two types of up-converter MMICs fabricated in $0.35{\mu}m$ Si-BiCMOS process were measured to verify the simulation results. The up-converter without the degeneration resistors produces a P1-dB of -13 dBm with an OIP3 of 3.7 dBm, while the up-converter with the degeneration resistors produces a P1-dB of -10 dBm with an OIP3 of 8.7 dBm.

Passive Surveillance System based on the TDOA detects the emitter position in the air using TOA of pulses comprising emitter signal from multiple receivers. In case that PRI of pulses from the emitter is not enough big in comparison with the distance among receivers, it causes the ambiguity problem in selecting proper pulse pairs for TDOA emitter geolocation. In this paper, a novel ambiguity resolution method of radar pulses is presented by using genetic algorithm after changing ambiguity problem into optimization problem between TDOA of received pulses from each receiver and emitter position. Simulation results are presented to show the performance of the proposed method.
