Figure 6.12
SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) image of a heavily shunted solar cell region.
The microscopic investigations reveal needle-shaped structures containing silicon, nitrogen, oxygen
and carbon. The shunting mechanism is assumed to be due to electrically conductive SiC that
short-circuits the solar cell

. The importance of metal impurities for multicrys-
talline silicon solar cells is, however, based on metal impurities controlling the activity
of extended defects, specifically that of crystal dislocations.
We anticipate that metallic impurities are, for example, responsible for the observed
systematic changes of the lifetime of multicrystalline silicon wafers after high-temperature
steps in the range of 800 to 1000

C (e.g. the phosphorous diffusion step for fabrication
of the solar cell
pn
-junction). The wafer lifetime quite commonly decreases in annealing
steps above 900

C, where this decrease is even more significant at enhanced cooling
speeds after the anneal. The proposed mechanism behind this lifetime degradation is a
release of metal atoms from extended defects like dislocations into the wafer bulk material
and a subsequent quenching of the metal atoms as highly recombinative point defects.
Another hint of an extensive interaction between extended defects and metal
impurities is given in Figure 6.13 that depicts the theoretical segregation profile of iron
in an intentionally contaminated multicrystalline ingot (mean iron concentration: 7

) as compared to the experimental one. We clearly can state a reduced experi-
mentally determined segregation effectiveness most probably caused by iron segregation
into extended defects competing with the segregation process in the liquid silicon phase
during crystallisation.
In order to prevent such defect–metal interaction processes leading to enhanced
recombination activity, a very effective segregation of metallic impurities into the ingot
top region has to be assured. This segregation effectiveness, however, decreases with both
increasing crystallisation speed and increasing concentration of extended defects.
