Abstract
Copper is a common 3d transition metal impurity in silicon solar cells, which in its interstitial state causes light-induced degradation (LID) in crystalline silicon even without any boron or oxygen. Even though copper contamination increases the degradation rate, the activation energy in copper-contaminated silicon appears to be similar to the energy barrier required for boron-oxygen defect formation.
