Increasing silicon solar cell efficiency plays a vital role in improving the dominant market share of photo-voltaic systems in the renewable energy sector.

It is possible to shift the balance of electrons and holes in a silicon crystal lattice by "doping" it with other atoms. Atoms with one more valence electron than silicon are used to produce "n-type" semiconductor material. These n-type materials are group V elements in the periodic table, and thus their atoms have 5 valence electrons that can form covalent bonds with the 4 valence

Perovskites have several advantages over silicon, the standard photovoltaic material currently used to make solar cells. Unlike silicon wafers, perovskites are lighter, smaller, and cheaper, as well as being physically flexible. Also, manufacturing them requires a smaller environmental footprint.
Many modern crystalline silicon solar cells are highly doped in both the emitter and the so-called back-surface-field (BSF) structure. Auger recombination and band-gap narrowing thus take place in these regions with detrimental effects on cell performance.
In this paper, we propose a novel optimization approach for the silicon solar cell structure, considering the doping level and diffusion depth of the emitter to minimize the effect of Auger recombination. This effect, typically found in semiconductors with high doping levels and an indirect gap, induces a reduction in carrier minority lifetime

4. Influence of heavy doping effects on performance of the front region The front regions of silicon solar cells, whether obtained by diffusion or by ion implantation with subsequent activation annealing, contain a large impurity gradient between the edge of the space charge region of the pfn junction and the front surface.
Therefore, Teinkemper et al. recommends the peak doping concentration should be higher to achieve higher efficiency of the solar cell [ 9 ]. However, the heavy doping concentration of the emitter improves the surface passivation, but this creates a drawback by increasing the contact resistivity.
Additionally, the thickness of the cells is shown. The base doping concentration shows a good correlation with the inductively measured values. However, towards higher NB, our procedure tends to result in slightly lower values. For high-resistivity solar cells like SHJ cells, this effect seems to be of minor degree.
Methodology There are generally two regions in solar cells of conventional design in which heavy doping effects are encountered. One of these is the BSF structure, which in its original version involved a relatively thin diffused or ion implanted layer with a drift field just below the contact-covered back surface of the cell.
Many modern crystalline silicon solar cells are highly doped in both the emitter and the so-called back-surface-field (BSF) structure. Auger recombination and band-gap narrowing thus take place in these regions with detrimental effects on cell performance.
Comparable studies at inorganic semiconductor/polymeric metal interfaces have been reported at n -Si/poly- (CH 3) 3 Si-Cyclo-octatetraene hetero-junction . Here, an influence of Si substrate doping level on the solar cell performance has been measured.
