Abstract:
A photovoltaic device and method include a crystalline substrate and an emitter contact portion formed in contact with the substrate. A back-surface-field junction includes a homogeneous junction layer formed in contact with the crystalline substrate and having a same conductivity type and a higher active doping density than that of the substrate. The homogeneous junction layer includes a thickness less than a diffusion length of minority carriers in the homogeneous junction layer. A passivation layer is formed in contact with the homogeneous junction layer opposite the substrate, which is either undoped or has the same conductivity type as that of the substrate.

Claim (Index 7):
The photovoltaic device of  claim 1 , wherein the passivation layer includes hydrogenated amorphous, nano-crystalline or micro-crystalline material including a same element as the homogeneous junction layer.
