We perform several front side optimizations based on homogeneous emitter doping: finger width reduction of the screen-printed silver fingers, improved silver paste, and implementation of low-temperature thermal oxidation. This yields peak energy conversion efficiencies of 22.1% for boron-doped Cz-Si from LONGi and 22.2% for gallium-doped Cz-Si from Fraunhofer CSP. We show that gallium-doped Cz-Si wafers offer an industrially feasible option to further improve PERC-type but also other solar cell concepts on p-type Cz-Si. We also demonstrate the possibility to omit regeneration procedures that are needed to suppress the boron-oxygen-related light-induced degradation effects as known for conventional borondoped Cz-Si.enPhotovoltaikboronCz-Sidiffusionfront side optimizationgalliumPERCscreen printingSilicium-PhotovoltaikCharakterisierung von Prozess- und Silicium-MaterialienDotierung und DiffusionOberflächen: KonditionierungPassivierungLichteinfangMetallisierung und StrukturierungPilotherstellung von industrienahen Si-Solarzellen621697Front Side Optimization on Boron- and Gallium-Doped Cz-Si PERC Solar Cells Exceeding 22% Conversion Efficiencyconference paper
