Abstract

Using methods for measuring photocurrent and Raman scattering spectra the surface region microstructure of the silicon photovoltaic converter with n+p junction and an antireflective porous silicon film is studied. The n+p junction is formed by thermal diffusion of phosphorus from a porous film. It is found that high-temperature treatment during diffusion results in coarsening silicon crystallites and a decrease in the defect density in the porous silicon film. It is noted that the n+p junction is formed within the largest crystallites of the porous silicon film.
