Abstract
A two-dimensional numerical program is performed to analyze the region between the back contact fingers of an IBC silicon solar cell. The model accounts for the interface charges at the Si-SiO/sub 2/ interface. Since 10% of the total current flows in the region just beneath this interface, it is necessary to prevent the minority carriers from being diverted towards this region of interest; it is shown that it is more advantageous to extend the /b n//sup +/ layer up to the collecting junction for an /b n/-type substrate device.
