Abstract

The contours of constant dark saturation current density, photogenerated current density lost by recombination, and sheet resistance, as a function of the surface dopant density and the thickness of the emitter are given for boron-doped regions, with application to silicon solar cells. Although similar calculations and graphs have already been published, the present ones have been generated using an updated value for the intrinsic carrier density. Contour plots of the emitter-limited ideal solar cell efficiency are also included for the common case of a combined passivated/metal contacted surface. The latter plots show the main features of the optimum emitters.
