  • Abstract
    A low temperature boron gettering induced by preceded boron diffusion improves effectively the lifetime of Fe-contaminated n/sup +/pp/sup +/ BSF cells with cooperating preceded phosphorous gettering. The combination with two gettering increased stably the lifetimes to initial high lifetimes. The simulated lifetimes through the cell process using Fe-behavior parameters showed good consistency with measured lifetimes by micro-PCD method and measured concentration of FeB pair by DLTS analysis.
