In this paper, we report on commercially viable screen printing (SP) technology to form boron emitters. A screen‐printed boron emitter and ion‐implanted phosphorus back surface field were formed simultaneously by a co‐annealing process. Front and back surfaces were passivated by chemically grown oxide capped with plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor deposition silicon nitride stack. Front and back contacts were formed by traditional SP and firing processes with silver/aluminum grid on front and local silver back contacts on the rear. This resulted in 19.6% efficient large area (239 cm 2 ) n ‐type solar cells with an open‐circuit voltage V oc of 645 mV, short‐circuit current density J sc of 38.6 mA/cm 2 , and fill factor of 78.6%. This demonstrates the potential of this novel technology for production of low‐cost high‐efficiency n ‐type silicon solar cells. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. In this paper, we report on a 19.6% ( V oc of 645 mV, J sc of 38.6 mA/cm 2 , and fill factor of 78.6%) efficient n ‐type silicon solar cell with boron emitter formed by screen printing boron dopant paste. A screen‐printed boron emitter and ion‐implanted phosphorus back surface field were formed simultaneously by a co‐annealing process. This demonstrates the potential of screen printing technology for production of low‐cost high‐efficiency n ‐type silicon solar cells.
