abstract = {Electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) is used to study
p-doped layers in n-i-p amorphous thin film Si solar cells
grown on steel foil substrates. For a solar cell in which an
intrinsic amorphous hydrogenated Si (a-Si-H) layer is
sandwiched between 10-nm-thick n-doped and p-doped a-Si:H
layers, we assess whether core-loss EELS can be used to
quantify the B concentration. We compare the shape of the
measured B K edge with real space ab initio multiple
scattering calculations and show that it is possible to
separate the weak B K edge peak from the much stronger Si L
edge fine structure by using log-normal fitting functions.
The measured B concentration is compared with values
obtained from secondary ion mass spectrometry, as well as
with EELS results obtained from test samples that contain
∼200-nm-thick a-Si:H layers co-doped with B and C. We also
assess whether changes in volume plasmon energy can be
related to the B concentration and/or to the density of the
material and whether variations of the volume plasmon
line-width can be correlated with differences in the
scattering of valence electrons in differently doped a-Si:H
layers.},
