Abstract

A method of forming a multi-doped junction is disclosed. The method includes providing a first substrate and a second substrate. The method also includes depositing a first ink on a first surface of each of the first substrate and the second substrate, the first ink containing a first set of nanoparticles and a first set of solvents, the first set of nanoparticles containing a first concentration of a first dopant. The method further includes depositing a second ink on a second surface of each of the first substrate and the second substrate, the second ink containing a second set of nanoparticles and a second set of solvents, the second set of nanoparticles containing a second concentration of a second dopant. The method also includes placing the first substrate and the second substrate in a back to back configuration; and heating the first substrate and the second substrate in a first drive-in ambient to a first temperature and for a first time period. The method further includes exposing the first substrate and the second substrate in the back to back configuration to a deposition ambient, the deposition ambient containing POCl3, a carrier N2 gas, a main N2 gas, and a reactive O2…
