Increasing the open circuit voltage of organic/Si-based hetero-junction solar cells (HSCs) is an efficient path for improving its photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE).

A simple method for the determination of a Si p+/n junction depth is presented. The method is designed to delineate the specific junction due to its importance in the field of Si solar cells where cost effective and fast characterization techniques are necessary. It consists of the electrochemical transformation of the p+ Si to porous Si.
The method consists of anodizing the p+ part of the junction and, by measuring the porous Si depth, providing a direct measurement of the junction depth. In addition, a sheet resistance measurement provides a value of the average dopant concentration of the junction down to its depth.
SEM imaging of the porous Si depth then allows the determination of the p+/n junction depth in a very straightforward process. A similar idea has been presented in a patent , but the authors of the current work have not been able to find a relevant publication on the subject.
Perhaps a better measure of the actual junction (electrically) can be found in assuming a linearly graded junction on the p-type side with a constant n-type concentration. We can use the linear fit of the linearly graded part of the junction to calculate the intersection with the 10 16 at/cm 3 concentration point.
There are numerous metrics used to characterise the diffused regions of a solar cell, including sheet resistance, dopant concentration, junction depth and spatial uniformity. The sheet resistance is one of the easiest and quickest metrics to measure and commonly used to distinguish the diffused regions formed from various diffusion processes.
So, in order to probe the correct junction depth, this depletion width should be minimized by minimizing the current value. The end of anodization was determined by monitoring the anodization voltage. At the junction depth this voltage started to rapidly increase up to the voltage limit of the current source set at 10 V for all experiments.
