we systematically analyze the impact of boron-doped polysilicon (p-poly) passivation and contact performance
as well as pattern design
on the performance of interdigitated back contact (IBC) solar cells. On this basis
we further discuss in detail the effects of the tunnel oxide interface recombination rate
the doping concentration of the polysilicon layer
and the diffusion region formed in the silicon substrate on the passivation performance of p-poly
and we outline the essential conditions required to achieve excellent passivation performance with p-poly passivating contacts.
