Abstract

10.1002/pip.2910 picture

A cost effective gapless IBC was fabricated by using ion implantation with shadow masks. We fabricated IBC solar cell with optimized doping condition at counter doped region. The shunt resistance and junction breakdown confirmed that the shunt resistance was over 5000 Ω cm2 in the case of the average shunt resistance value. After the doping conditions were optimized, a high efficiency of 23% was achieved with a fill factor of over 81%.
