Abstract:
Interstitial oxygen is the most prevalent impurity in crystalline silicon. An upper limit of around 12 ppma [Oi] has long been accepted for multicrystalline solar cells. This paper demonstrates that it is possible to manufacture solar cells with an efficiency of over 15.4% at 20 ppma interstitial oxygen from commercial multicrystalline p-type silicon (mc-Si) wafers using ECN standard screen-print process. We also show that 20 ppma [Oi] wafers can be processed with industrial processing temperatures at least up to 900 oC.
