Boron diffusion is described as very effective only ... gettering process is very effective for the production of low-cost silicon solar cells with reducing the dependence on high-purity wafers.” ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

Silicon solar cells enjoy promising prospects ... Through optimizing the oxidation conditions, boron in-diffusion, and aluminum oxide hydrogenation, the passivation quality of the as-prepared ...

B x C films were deposited on silicon substrates and on silicon ... the effectiveness of competitive co-diffusion in improving SC for boron carbide films in CVD using Xe as a heavy diffusion ...
