abstract = {We investigate the junction resistivity of high-quality carrier-selective polysilicon on oxide (POLO) junctions with the transfer length method. We demonstrate n+ POLO junctions with a saturation current density JC,poly of 6.2 fA/cm2 and a junction resistivity ρc of 0.6 mΩcm2, counterdoped n+ POLO junctions with 2.7 fA/cm2 and 1.3 mΩcm2, and p+ POLO junctions with 6.7 fA/cm2 and 0.2 mΩcm2. Such low junction resistivities and saturation current densities correspond to excellent selectivities S10 of up to 16.2. The efficiency potential for back-junction back-contact solar cells with these POLO junctions was determined to be larger than 25 % by numerical device simulations. We demonstrate experimentally a back-junction back-contact solar cell with p-type and n-type POLO junctions with an independently confirmed efficiency of 24.25 %.},

abstract = {Highly doped junctions of a Si solar cell function as membranes that block minority carriers and, at the same time, provide a high conductivity for transporting majority carriers to the contacts. They are thus said to be selective contacts. We propose a quantitative definition for the selectivity of contacts. The selectivity provides a figure of merit for electron and hole contacts that is helpful in designing solar cells and in identifying the efficiency limiting components. Applying the definition of selectivity to poly-Si junctions reveals that the root cause of their high selectivity is the highly asymmetric carrier concentration rather than a specific contact geometry.},

abstract = {Passivating junctions, like hole-collecting p+-polycrystalline silicon/SiOx/crystalline silicon junctions, need a thermal treatment to activate their excellent passivation and contact properties. Aside from surface passivation and from contact resistance between poly-Si and the substrate, the sheet resistance within the poly-Si is another important parameter for solar cell design. We present electrical investigations of in situ boron-doped (deposited by low pressure chemical vapor deposition) and ion-implanted (intrinsically deposited and subsequently ion-implanted with boron) p+-poly-Si/SiOx/c-Si stacks after annealing. We find electrical deactivation of boron after annealing which strongly depends on the total boron concentration and the subsequent annealing temperature.},

Besides tunneling through thin oxides, transport through pinholes is discussed. We investigate the influence of annealing temperature on the structural properties of polycrystalline Si/SiOx/crystalline Si interfaces and analyze the formation and evolution of holes by high resolution transmission electron microscopy in comparison to electrical results. We prove the existence of pinholes in samples with good electrical properties in agreement with the pinhole model.},

abstract = {Passivating junctions, like hole-collecting p-polycrystalline silicon/SiOx/crystalline silicon junctions, need a thermal activation to activate their excellent passivation and contact properties. Here, the diffusion of boron from the highly doped poly-Si layer into the Si is often considered to compromise the passivation quality. In contrast we show that at least a slight diffusion of boron into the crystalline silicon is present for optimized annealing conditions. We achieve low emitter saturation current densities of 11 fA/cm2 for in situ p+ doped polysilicon deposited by low pressure chemical vapor deposition. Furthermore, we show that the polysilicon layer and the in-diffused region within the substrate are electrically connected.},
