Abstract

In this paper, we have made a simple Al-p+ layer on n-type silicon wafers with a commercially available aluminum paste, screen-printing and traditional annealing furnace. The influences of firing cooling rate on the structure and thickness of Al-Si recrystalline layer are discussed. By changing the cooling rate and peak temperature, we find the general relationship between cooling rate and the structure of p+-layer. Relatively complete and uniform structure was obtained by slowing down cooling rate between peak temperature and 550 C. The result of the present work implies that a moderate thick pn junction can be formed by lower cooling rate using peak temperature range from 830 C to 880 C.
