  • SOLAR CELL CONTAINING N-TYPE DOPED SILICON
    Publication number: 20150136211
    Abstract: A photovoltaic device includes a first semiconducting area having an N-doped silicon base and a second semiconducting area having a P-doped silicon base. The two semiconducting areas are configured to form a PN junction. The first semiconducting area is devoid of boron and includes a concentration of P-type doping impurities that is at least equal to 20% of the concentration of N-type doping impurities.

  • Method for doping a semiconductor material
    Patent number: 8900981
    Abstract: A feedstock of semiconductor material is placed in a crucible. A closed sacrificial recipient containing a dopant material is placed in the crucible. The content of the crucible is melted resulting in incorporation of the dopant in the molten material bath. The temperature increase is performed under a reduced pressure.
