During the past few decades, crystalline silicon solar cells are mainly applied on the utilization of solar energy in large scale, which are mainly classified into three types, i.e., mono-crystalline silicon, multi-crystalline silicon and thin film, respectively .
However, existing industrialized silicon solar cells exhibit simple structures. The single crystalline silicon with the Czochralski method or the polycrystalline silicon with the casting method has been adopted on a large scale. Generally, these silicon materials are boron diffusion doped, with a resistivity of 0.5–0.6 Ω cm.
Besides, in terms of screen-printed crystalline silicon solar cells, the last step of co-firing causes the metal gate lines on the front surface to form good ohmic contact coupled with the silicon body. For the overly shallow junction depth, the metal will diffuse into the n-type area of the cell, thereby reducing the quality of the PN junction.
