    • Processes which utilize rapid thermal processing (RTP) are provided for inexpensively producing high efficiency silicon solar cells. The RTP processes preserve minority carrier bulk lifetime .tau. and permit selective adjustment of the depth of the diffused regions, including emitter and back surface field (bsf), within the silicon substrate. In a first RTP process, an RTP step is utilized to simultaneously diffuse phosphorus and aluminum into the front and back surfaces, respectively, of a silicon substrate. Moreover, an in situ controlled cooling procedure preserves the carrier bulk lifetime .tau. and permits selective adjustment of the depth of the diffused regions. In a second RTP process, both simultaneous diffusion of the phosphorus and aluminum as well as annealing of the front and back contacts are accomplished during the RTP step. In a third RTP process, the RTP step accomplishes simultaneous diffusion of the phosphorus and aluminum, annealing of the contacts, and annealing of a double-layer antireflection/passivation coating SiN/SiO.sub.x. In a fourth RTP process, the process of applying front and back contacts is broken up into two separate respective steps, which enhances the efficiency of the cells, at a slight time expense. In a fifth RTP process, a second RTP step is utilized to fire and adhere the screen printed or evaporated contacts to the structure.

    • A new process has been developed to achieve a very low SiO.sub.x /Si interface state density D.sub.it, low recombination velocity S ( 5 ms) for oxides deposited on silicon substrates at low temperature. The technique involves direct plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), with appropriate growth conditions, followed by a photo-assisted rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process. Approximately 500-A-thick SiO.sub.x layers are deposited on Si by PECVD at 250.degree. C. with 0.02 W/cm.sup.-2 rf power, then covered with SiN or an evaporated thin aluminum layer, and subjected to a photo-assisted anneal in forming gas ambient at 350.degree. C., resulting in an interface state density D.sub.it in the range of about 1-4.times.10.sup.10 cm.sup.-2 eV.sup.-1, which sets a record for the lowest interface state density D.sub.it for PECVD oxides fabricated to date. Detailed analysis shows that the PECVD deposition conditions, photo-assisted anneal, forming gas ambient, and the presence of an aluminum layer on top of the oxides during the anneal, all contributed to this low value of interface state density D.sub.it. Detailed metal-oxide semiconductor analysis and model calculations show that such a low recombination velocity S is the result of moderately high positive oxide charge (5.times.10.sup.11 -1.times.10.sup.12 cm.sup.-2) and relatively low midgap interface state density (1.times.10.sup.10 -4.times.10.sup.10 cm.sup.-2 eV.sup.-1). Photo-assisted anneal was found to be superior to furnace annealing, and a forming gas ambient was better than a nitrogen ambient for achieving a very low surface recombination velocity S.
    • 已经开发了一种新的工艺,以实现低沉积在硅衬底上的氧化物的低SiO x / Si界面态密度Dit,低复合速度S(<2cm / s)和高有效载流子寿命Teff(> 5ms) 温度。 该技术涉及直接等离子体增强化学气相沉积(PECVD),具有合适的生长条件,随后进行光辅助快速热退火(RTA)工艺。 通过PECVD在250℃下以0.02W / cm 2的功率将约500-A厚的SiO x层沉积在Si上,然后用SiN或蒸发的薄铝层覆盖,并在成型中进行光辅助退火 气体环境在350℃,导致约1-4x10 10 cm -2 eV-1范围内的界面态密度Dit,这为迄今为止制造的PECVD氧化物的最低界面态密度Dit设置了记录。 详细分析表明,在退火过程中,PECVD沉积条件,光辅助退火,形成气体环境以及氧化物顶部铝层的存在都导致了界面态密度Dit的这个低值。 详细的金属氧化物半导体分析和模型计算表明,这种低复合速度S是中等高的正电荷电荷(5×10 11 -1×10 12 cm -2)和相对较低的中间隙界面态密度(1×10-4-4×10cm-2eV-1 )。 发现光辅助退火优于炉退火,并且形成气体环境优于氮环境以实现非常低的表面复合速度S.

    • A sequential plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) of SiN and SiO.sub.x produces a very effective double-layer antireflection coating. This antireflection coating is compared with the frequently used and highly efficient double-layer MgF.sub.2 /ZnS coating. It is shown that the double-layer SiO.sub.x /SiN coating improves the short-circuited current (J.sub.sc) by 47%, open-circuit voltage (V.sub.oc) by 3.7%, and efficiency (Eff) by 55% for silicon cells with oxide surface passivation. The counterpart MgF.sub.2 /ZnS coating gives smaller improvement in V.sub.oc and Eff. However, if silicon cells do not have the oxide passivation, the PECVD SiO.sub.x /SiN gives much greater improvement in the cell parameters, 57% in J.sub.sc, 8% in V.sub.oc, and 66% in efficiency, compared to the MgF.sub.2 /ZnS coating which improves J.sub.sc by 50%, V.sub.oc by 2%, and cell efficiency by 54%. This significant additional improvement results from the PECVD deposition-induced surface/defect passivation. The internal quantum efficiency (IQE) measurements showed that the PECVD SiO.sub.x /SiN coating absorbs fair amount of photons in the short-wavelength range (

    • A method and apparatus are provided for processing a received pulsed-based ultra-wideband (UWB) signal before the signal is demodulated by an energy detection based receiver. A nonlinear signal processing unit contains one or multiple subunits, and each subunit consists of a nonlinear device and a filter. The nonlinear devices can be any devices that can shift signal, noise, and interference spectra in a nonlinear fashion, and include but are not limited to square law devices and Teager-Kaiser operators. By applying the nonlinear signal processing unit on the received UWB signal, a major part of the energy of noise and narrowband interferences is shifted to specific frequency ranges and then removed by the appropriate filter(s) in the nonlinear signal processing unit. Thus, the signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio (SNIR) of the received UWB signal can be improved.
