Abstract
The process includes the manufacturing of a solar cell comprising boron doping after phosphorous doping, so as to obtain a substrate (10) with a double-diffused field region (33) and emitters (30), suitably selective emitters, together forming a p-i-n-diode construction. In order to prevent the formation of boron rich layers detrimental for carrier lifetime, a diffusion resistance layer (22) is applied within the through-holes (20).
