Abstract :
A solar cell design with a UV laser doped segmented selective emitter is reported. Several different laser settings are explored to determine the optimum power for this process and it is found that the pitch between the segmented n++ regions is critical to the short circuit current (Jsc) of the cell. An increase of 0.4 mA/cm2 is seen in the Jsc when the pitch is increased from 50 μm to 200 μm while maintaining the fill factor of 79%.
