단결정 실리콘 태양전지는 PESC(Passivated Emitter Solar Cell), PERC(Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell), Point Contact Cell, PERL(Passivated Emitter and Rear Locally-Diffused Cell) 형태로 기술적인 발전을 해왔다. BCSC(Buried Contact Solar Cell)는 낮은 제조 단가로 높은 효율을 얻을 목적으로 개발되었으며 개량된 형태인 DSBC(Double Sided Buried Contact Cell)는 양면으로 빛을 흡수할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

A boron doping process using a boron tri-bromide ($BBr_3$) as a boron source was applied to form a $p^+$ emitter layer on an n-type mono-crystalline CZ substrate. Nitrogen ($N_2$) gas as an additive of the diffusion process was varied in order to study the variations in sheet resistance and the uniformity of doped layer. The flow rate of $N_2$ gas flow was changed in the range 3 slm~10 slm. The sheet resistance uniformity however was found to be variable with the variation of the $N_2$ flow rate. The optimal flow rate for $N_2$ gas was found to be 4 slm, resulting in a sheet resistance value of $50{\Omega}/sq$ and having a uniformity of less than 10%. The process temperature was also varied in order to study its influence on the sheet resistance and minority carrier lifetimes. A higher lifetime value of $1727.72{\mu}s$ was achieved for the emitter having $51.74{\Omega}/sq$ sheet resistances. The thickness of the boron rich layer (BRL) was found to increase with the increase in the process temperature and a decrease in the sheet resistance was observed with the increase in the process temperature. Furthermore, a passivated emitter solar cell (PESC) type solar cell structure comprised of a boron doped emitter and phosphorus doped back surface field (BSF) having Ni/Cu contacts yielding 15.32% efficiency is fabricated.

개방전압과 단락전류와 같은 태양전지 출력변수들은 접합깊이, 도핑농도, 금속접합 및 태양전지구조에 의한 변수들이다. 태양전지 설계의 중요한 요소로서 인이 도핑된 에미터와 금속사이의 금속접합은 일함수 차이가 작아 낮은 직렬저항을 가져야 한다. PESC 태양전지는 금속 접합장벽 전극으로 티타늄을 사용한다. 새로운 접합장벽 전극물질로 티타늄과 일함수가 비슷하지만 전기전도도가 우수한 크롬은 금속 접합장벽 전극으로 유망한 금속이다. 티타늄은 일함수 차가 작지만, 접합장벽으로 크롬은 태양전지 제조시 티타늄보다 우수한 전기적 특성들을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 실리콘 태양전지의 접합장벽 금속전극의 특성을 비교 분석하였다.

Differential capacity of the parthenogenetic embryonic stem cells (PESCs) is still under controversy and the mechanisms of its neural induction are yet poorly understood. Here we demonstrated neural lineage induction of PESCs by addition of insulin-like growth factor-2 (Igf2), which is an important factor for embryo organ development and a paternally expressed imprinting gene. Murine PESCs were aggregated to embryoid bodies (EBs) by suspension culture under the leukemia inhibitory factor-free condition for 4 days. To test the effect of exogenous Igf2, 30 ng/ml of Igf2 was supplemented to EBs induction medium. Then neural induction was carried out with serum-free medium containing insulin, transferrin, selenium, and fibronectin complex (ITSFn) for 12 days. Normal murine embryonic stem cells derived from fertilized embryos (ESCs) were used as the control group. Neural potential of differentiated PESCs and ESCs were analyzed by immunofluorescent labeling and real-time PCR assay (Nestin, neural progenitor marker; Tuj1, neuronal cell marker; GFAP, glial cell marker). The differentiated cells from both ESC and PESC showed heterogeneous population of Nestin, Tuj1, and GFAP positive cells. In terms of the level of gene expression, PESC showed 4 times higher level of GFAP expression than ESCs. After exposure to Igf2, the expression level of GFAP decreased both in derivatives of PESCs and ESCs. Interestingly, the expression level of $Tuj1$ increased only in ESCs, not in PESCs. The results show that IGF2 is a positive effector for suppressing over-expressed glial differentiation during neural induction of PESCs and for promoting neuronal differentiation of ESCs, while exogenous Igf2 could not accelerate the neuronal differentiation of PESCs. Although exogenous Igf2 promotes neuronal differentiation of normal ESCs, expression of endogenous $Igf2$ may be critical for initiating neuronal differentiation of pluripotent stem cells. The findings may contribute to understanding of the relationship between imprinting mechanism and neural differentiation and its application to neural tissue repair in the future.
