Finite- vs. infinite-source emitters in silicon photovoltaics: Effect on transition metal gettering

Control of detrimental metal impurities is crucial to silicon solar cell performance. Traditional silicon solar cell emitters are diffused in an infinite-source regime and are known to cause strong point defect segregation towards the emitter and thus enhance bulk minority carrier diffusion length....
