Ring Defects Associated with Boron–Oxygen‐Related Degradation in p‐Type Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells by Bruno Vicari Stefani, Moonyong Kim, Matthew Wright, Anastasia Soeriyadi, Ilya Nyapshaev, Konstantin Emtsev, Brett Hallam

“…Herein, ring‐like defects are observed in boron‐doped p‐type SHJ solar cells, which leads to a degradation of open‐circuit voltage. It is shown that the spatial variation of this recombination activity is related to the boron–oxygen defect, the variation of which is likely due to the radial Oi distribution. …”
