A method of forming a multi-doped junction on a substrate is disclosed. The method includes providing the substrate doped with boron atoms, the substrate comprising a front substrate surface. The method further includes depositing an ink on the front substrate surface in a ink pattern, the ink comprising a set of silicon-containing particles and a set of solvents. The method also includes heating the substrate in a baking ambient to a first temperature and for a first time period in order to create a densified film ink pattern. The method further includes exposing the substrate to a dopant source in a diffusion furnace with a deposition ambient, the deposition ambient comprising POCl 3 , a carrier N 2 gas, a main N 2 gas, and a reactive O 2 gas at a second temperature and for a second time period, wherein a PSG layer is formed on the front substrate surface and on the densified film ink pattern; and heating the substrate in a drive-in ambient to a third temperature; wherein a first diffused region with a first sheet resistance is formed under the front substrate surface covered by the densified film ink pattern, and a second diffused region with a second sheet resistance is formed under the front substrate surface not covered with the densified film ink pattern, and wherein the first sheet resistance is substantially smaller than the second sheet resistance. |
