초록

We investigated 2-D dopant distribution in a POCl3-diffused n(+) emitter formed on textured Si solar cells using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) combined with selective chemical etching. TEM and simulation results demonstrate that the convex and concave regions of a pyramid in the textured Si surface show deeper and shallower junctions, respectively. By considering a strong dependence of phosphorus (P) diffusion on the Si interstitials, the abnormal profile of n(+) emitter in the textured Si surface could be attributed to the inhomogeneous distribution of Si interstitials caused by the geometry of the pyramid texture.
