Increased radiation resistance in lithium-counterdoped silicon solar cells
Journal Article

· Appl. Phys. Lett.; (United States)
Lithium-counterdoped n/sup +/p silicon solar cells are found to exhibit significantly increased radiation resistance to 1-MeV electron irradiation when compared to boron-doped n/sup +/p silicon solar cells. In addition to improved radiation resistance, considerable damage recovery by annealing is observed in the counterdoped cells at T< or =100 /sup 0/C. Deep level transient spectroscopy measurements are used to identify the defect whose removal results in the low-temperature anneal. It is suggested that the increased radiation resistance of the counterdoped cells is primarily due to interaction of the lithium with interstitial oxygen.
