Publication number: 20230215967Abstract: A method for thermally activating a passivation layer disposed on a photovoltaic cell. The photovoltaic cell includes a first face, a second face opposite to the first face, and side surfaces connecting the first and second faces. The passivation layer covers at least one of the side surfaces of the photovoltaic cell. The method includes exposing the first face to electromagnetic radiation emitted by a radiation source. The electromagnetic radiation is applied to the first face along a line. The line sweeps at least part of the first face and is oriented relative to the first face so as to provide an overheating zone encompassing at least part of the passivation layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2022Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventors: Mickaël ALBARIC, David PELLETIER

Patent number: 10072350Abstract: A method for manufacturing a silicon ingot having uniform phosphorus concentration. The method includes at least the steps of: (i) providing a quasi-uniform molten silicon bath containing at least phosphorus; and (ii) proceeding to the directional solidification of the silicon, wherein a speed (VI) for solidifying the silicon and a rate (JLV) of evaporation of the phosphorus at the liquid/vapor interface of the bath are controlled such that, at each moment of the directional solidification, the following equation is verified: VI=k?/(2?k) (E), wherein k? is the phosphorus transfer coefficient, and k is the distribution coefficient of the phosphorus in the silicon. Also relates to a silicon ingot having uniform phosphorus concentration across a height of at least 20 cm.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2014Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: COMMISSARIAT À L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE ET AUX ENERGIES ALTERNATIVESInventors: Jean-Paul Garandet, Malek Benmansour, Anis Jouini, David Pelletier

Patent number: 9938633Abstract: The crystallization system includes a crucible provided with a bottom and with side walls designed to contain the material to be solidified and a device for creating a main thermal gradient inside the crucible in a perpendicular direction to the bottom of the crucible. An additional inductive heating device is arranged at the level of the side walls of the crucible facing the liquid material and without overlapping with the solid phase. This additional inductive heating device is configured to heat a part of the crystalline material located in the vicinity of the triple contact line between the liquid material, the solidified material and the crucible so that the interface between the liquid material and the solidified material forms a convex meniscus in the vicinity of the triple contact line.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2012Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: COMMISSARIAT À L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE ET AUX ENERGIES ALTERNATIVESInventors: Jean-Paul Garandet, Anis Jouini, David Pelletier
