摘要: Light-induced degradation (LID) due to boron-oxygen complex formation seriously diminishes the minority carrier lifetime of p-type Czochralski-grown (Cz) wafers. Depending linearly on boron concentration NA in uncompensated silicon, defect density was suggested depend net doping p0 = NA-ND compensated samples, containing similar amounts and phosphorus [1]. However, this dependence contradicts observations LID n-type silicon wafers [2], which are confirmed study by investigating a large variety pand samples. In spite their high content, samples show less pronounced than boron. Our experiments indicate that Cz is only function compensation ratio RC (NA+ND)/(NA-ND) may be described consistently Cz-Si an exponential decay. Beyond these fundamental effects, reveals crystals from industrial solar-grade feedstock there no feedstock-related losses material quality addition intrinsic LID. By manufacturing solar cells cell process stable degraded efficiencies 17.4% achieved average over whole crystal length made with without blend 33% SoG feedstock.
