Moreover, a notable improvement in photovoltaic conversion efficiency was observed.
Values for silicon, the most used semiconductor material for solar cells, are given in the appendix. Since raising the temperature will increase the thermal velocity of the carriers, diffusion occurs faster at higher temperatures. A single particle in a box will eventually be found at any random location in the box.
Conclusion In this study, the diffusion process for PERC non-selective emitter solar cells is refined. The modified diffusion protocol includes two added stages: pressure holding and extended annealing time.
