Samenvatting:
Due to the use of thinner and larger wafers, in-line belt diffusion becomes more commonly used in new production lines. In this paper two possible adjustments to the processing sequences with an in-line belt diffusion are discussed. Double-sided diffusion (applying phosphorous on both sides of the wafer) leads to a better gettering and a maximum absolute efficiency increase of 0.8%. The average absolute efficiency increase for double-sided diffusion is 0.5%. A simple surface cleaning before SiNx:H ARC deposition results in better surface passivation and an additional absolute efficiency gain of 0.3%. Both the experimental results and PC-1D modeling confirms that these efficiency gains are indeed independent and can be added, so an overall efficiency gain of nearly 1% absolute can be obtained. Besides the efficiency gain, double-sided diffusion also results in a narrowing of the efficiency distribution.
