1. Introduction The screen-printed aluminum back surface field (BSF) formation has been the preferred method in the photovoltaic (PV) industry for the back surface passivation of p-type Si solar cells. Theoretical calculations show that Al-BSF has the potential to provide high-quality back surface passivation .
1. Introduction Traditional aluminum back surface field (Al-BSF) Si solar cells and passivated emitter and rear cells (PERC) are still the two dominated technologies of Si solar cells in mass production [, , , , , , , ].
In this work, we have studied aluminium BSF on industrial silicon solar cells with back parasitic junction. Thickness of the BSF has been measured by SIMS and confronted with the theoretical expected value and simulations.
1. Introduction With the reduction of solar cells thickness, back surface field (BSF) becomes more and more interesting in order to decrease the back surface recombination velocity and to increase collection efficiency.
Due to the low cost of this technology, multi-crystalline Al-BSF solar cells are still their main products in some small- and medium-sized enterprises. On the traditional polysilicon solar cell production line, the conversion efficiency of the solar cell using the acid texturing process is about 18.5% [5, 21, 22 ].
Abstract: Screen-printing and rapid thermal annealing have been combined to achieve an aluminum-alloyed back surface field (Al-BSF) that lowers the effective back surface recombination velocity (S/sub eff/) to approximately 200 cm/s for solar cells formed on 2.3 /spl Omega/-cm Si.

Polycrystalline silicon
Polycrystalline silicon (or semi-crystalline silicon, polysilicon, poly-Si, or simply "poly") is a material consisting of multiple small silicon crystals. Polycrystalline cells can be recognized by a visible grain, a "metal flake effect". Semiconductor grade (also solar grade) polycrystalline silicon is converted to single-crystal silicon ...

Understanding the Composition of Solar Panels
The photovoltaic (PV) cell is the heart of the solar panel and consists of two layers made up of semiconductor materials such as monocrystalline silicon or polycrystalline silicon. A thin anti reflective layer is applied to the top of these layers to prevent light reflection and further increase efficiency. The combined components form a complete solar module that can …
