متن کاملMicrostructure and open-circuit voltage of nÀiÀp microcrystalline silicon solar cells
A series of microcrystalline silicon n2i2p solar cells has been deposited by very high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition at various values of silane to hydrogen source gas ratio and on two different substrate types. Relationships between microstructure and electrical characteristics of these solar cells are investigated by transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microsc...
متن کاملOpen-Circuit Voltage Physics in Amorphous Silicon Solar Cells
We have performed computer calculations to explore effects of the p/i interface on the opencircuit voltage in a-Si:H based pin solar cells. The principal conclusions are that interface limitation can occur for values of VOC significantly below the built-in potential VBI of a cell, and that the effects can be understood in terms of thermionic emission of electrons from the intrinsic layer into t...
متن کاملcrystalline silicon solar cell engineering to improve fill factor, open circuit voltage, short circuit current and overall cell efficiency
design and optimization of a single crystalline silicon (c-si) solar cell is performed to achieve the maximum light conversion efficiency. various parameters such as doping concentration and thicknesses, and geometrical dimension of surface pyramids are studied. the inverted surface pyramid is used to increase the efficiency of the solar cell, and engineered oxide layer is used as the passivati...
متن کاملFast Deposited Microcrystalline Silicon Solar Cells
Microcrystalline silicon solar cells with AM 1.5 conversion efficiency above 5 % have been deposited at deposition rates in excess of 10 Å/s. This is achieved by VHF-GD at an excitation frequency of 130 MHz. By increasing the plasma power at a dilution ratio of 7.5 % silane/(silane+hydrogen) there first appears a morphological transition from a-Si:H to μc-Si:H and then an increase in deposition...
