  • Publication number: 20240079230
    Abstract: A plasma-assisted annealing system includes a high temperature furnace, a plasma-induced dissociator and a connecting duct. The plasma-induced dissociator is provided to dissociate a working gas and exhaust the dissociated working gas from its working gas outlet. Both ends of the connecting duct are connected to the working gas outlet of the plasma-induced dissociator and a gas inlet of the high temperature furnace, respectively. The working gas dissociated in the plasma-induced dissociator is introduced into the high temperature furnace via the connecting duct.

  • Publication number: 20230076597
    Abstract: A passivated contact solar cell includes a silicon substrate and a back passivation assembly which includes a tunnel oxide layer, an N-type doped polysilicon film and a cover layer. The tunnel oxide layer is formed on the silicon substrate, the N-type doped polysilicon film is formed on the tunnel oxide layer by PECVD and has a thickness between 30 nm and 100 nm, the cover layer is formed on the N-type doped polysilicon film. The N-type doped polysilicon film formed by PECVD allows the tunnel oxide layer to retain fine passivation ability so as to enhance conversion efficiency of the passivated contact solar cell.
