  • Patent number: 8647917
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a solar cell includes the following steps. An ion implantation process is performed to a first surface of a substrate to form a first doping layer. Then, the ion implantation process is performed to a second surface of the substrate to form a second doping layer. After that, an annealing process is performed to the structure formed by the substrate, the first doping layer and the second doping layer, and forming a first passivation layer on the first doping layer and a second passivation layer on the second doping layer by the annealing process. A third passivation layer is formed on the first passivation layer formed after the annealing process and a fourth passivation layer is formed on the second passivation layer formed after the annealing process. Afterward, conductive electrodes are formed on the third passivation layer and the fourth passivation layer, respectively.

  • Patent number: 6143618
    Abstract: A method for forming a polycide/oxide/polysilicon capacitor on a silicon wafer with improved dielectric stability and reliability is described wherein an in-situ high temperature anneal is applied to the wafer within a CVD reactor immediately prior to the deposition of the silicon oxide capacitor dielectric layer. The in-situ anneal causes sufficient fluorine outgassing of the polycide layer to prevent fluorine degradation of the subsequently deposited oxide capacitor dielectric. The capacitance of the completed capacitor is increased by as much as 10% when compared to a comparable not in-situ anneal conducted prior to the insertion of the wafer into the CVD reactor.
