Resumen:
Electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) is used to study the B distribution in a pi-n layered solar cell structure. The boron concentration in the p-doped Si layer is expected tobe ~1021 cm-3 and should not exceed 1017 cm-3 in the neighbouring intrinsic layer. We show thatB concentrations as low as 3×1020 cm-3 (0.6 at. %) can be measured using EELS. Ourmeasurements are in close agreement with real space ab-initio multiple scattering calculationsand secondary ion mass spectrometry measurements.
