該基板の前記裏面に接触して位置する裏面不働態化層、
前記裏面不働態化層に接触して位置し、かつ電子収集に適した第1の金属化領域、及び
空孔収集に適した第2の金属化領域を備え、
該第2の金属化領域が、
前記裏面不働態化層に接触して位置する表面部及び
前記裏面不働態化層を貫通し、かつ前記基板中に、電子受容体の濃度が、前記基板の残余の部分の電子受容体の濃度より高い領域を形成する、内方部を備えることを特徴とする半導体デバイスに関する。
−前記基板と接触する真性水素化無定形シリコン層、及び
−前記基板がp−タイプであればp−タイプのドーピングを有し、かつ前記基板がn−タイプであればn−タイプのドーピングを有する、前記真性水素化無定形シリコン層に接触して位置するドープされた水素化無定形シリコン層を備え、及び/又は
前記裏面不働態化層は、
−前記基板に接触する真性水素化無定形シリコン層と、
−該シリコン層に接触するn−タイプにドープされた水素化無定形シリコンを備える。
−前面及び裏面を有する結晶性半導体基板を準備し、
−該基板の前記前面に前面不働態化層を形成し、
―該基板の前記裏面に裏面不働態化層を形成し、
−前記裏面不働態化層に、電子収集に適した第1の金属化領域を形成する、
各工程を備える半導体デバイスの製造方法であって、
第2の金属化領域の形成が、
−前記裏面不働態化層に、空孔収集に適した第2の金属化領域の表面部を形成し、
−前記基板中に、前記裏面不働態化層を貫通し、かつ電子受容体の濃度が、前記基板の残余の部分の電子受容体の濃度より高い領域を形成する、第2の金属化領域の内方部を、前記第2の金属化領域の表面部をレーザアニーリングすることにより形成する、
各工程を備える半導体デバイスの製造方法である。
−前記基板の前記前面に接触する前記前面不働態化層を、前記基板に接触する真性水素化無定形シリコン層を形成し、かつ前記基板がp−タイプであればp−タイプのドーピングを有し、かつ前記基板がn−タイプであればn−タイプのドーピングを有する、前記真性水素化無定形シリコン層に接触して位置するドープされた水素化無定形シリコン層を形成することにより、形成し、及び/又は
−前記基板の裏面に接触する裏面不働態化層を、前記基板に接触する真性水素化無定形シリコン層を形成し、かつn−タイプにドープされた水素化無定形シリコンを形成することにより、形成する。
前記第1の金属化領域及び前記第2の金属化領域の形成を、リトグラフィ又はマスクを使用する蒸着やマスクを使用するスプレイやスクリーン印刷で行い、かつ好ましくは同時に行い、更に前記第1の金属化領域及び前記第2の金属化領域は好ましくは互いに噛み合った構造を形成している。
−本発明は、裏面接点太陽電池、つまり前面にシェーディングがなく、金属接点に起因するオームロスを最小にする太陽電池を提供する。更に本発明は、高短絡電流従って高効率を可能にする、前面に透明な導電性酸化物を配置することを可能にする。
−本発明の半導体デバイスは、非常に良好な不働態化を保証するヘテロタイプの接点(つまり無定形シリコン領域を有する接点)を有し、これと組み合わされたホモ接合タイプのp接点は、全体の不働態化を過度に低減させずに、非常に簡略化した製造方法を確保することを可能にする。
−p−タイプ接点生成のためにレーザアニーリング技術を使用すると、裏面の不働態化層に与える損傷(つまりp−タイプ接点それ自身)を非常に限定されたものにすることができ、これはレーザによる加熱が表面上で非常に局在化しているからである。前記不働態化層は、p−タイプ接点において、及びn−タイプ接点及びp−タイプ接点間において、損傷を受けない。
−前記第1の金属化領域10は、前記裏面不働態化層2の上面のみに、より正確には、n−ドープされた水素化された無定形シリコン5の上面のみに留まって存在しおければならない。従って、この第1の金属化領域10は、n−タイプ接点、つまり電子の収集に適することを保証する。
−前記第2の金属化領域は、p−タイプ接点、つまり空孔の収集に適するように変換されている。
