Surface, Emitter and Bulk Recombination in Silicon and Development of Silicon Nitride Passivated Solar Cells
Recombination within the bulk and at the surfaces of crystalline silicon has been investigated in this thesis. Special attention has been paid to the surface passivation achievable with plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposited (PECVD) silicon nitride (SiN) films due to their potential for widespread use in silicon solar cells. The passivation obtained with thermally grown silicon oxide (SiO2) ...

Title of Thesis: CONTACTLESS SPECTRAL-DEPENDENT MEASUREMENT OF BULK LIFETIME AND SURFACE RECOMBINATION VELOCITY IN SILICON PHOTOVOLTAIC MATERIALS John Frederick Roller, Master of Science 2016 Thesis Directed By: Dr. Mario Dagenais, ECE Charge carrier lifetime measurements in bulk or unfinished photovoltaic (PV) materials allow for a more accurate estimate of power conversion efficiency in compl...
متن کاملRecombination in compensated crystalline silicon for solar cells
Deliberate compensation of crystalline silicon results in a decrease in the equilibrium carrier concentration, which leads to an increased carrier lifetime for the intrinsic recombination processes of Auger and radiative recombination. We present modeling which reveals that compensation also often leads to a significant increase in lifetime for recombination through defects via the Shockley–Rea...
متن کاملHomogeneous bulk, surface, and edge nucleation in crystalline nanodroplets.
The birth of a crystal is initiated by a nucleus from which the crystal grows--a dust grain in a snowflake is a familiar example. These nuclei can be heterogeneous defects, like the dust grain, or homogeneous nuclei which are intrinsic to the material. Here we study homogeneous nucleation in nanoscale polymer droplets on a substrate which itself can be crystalline or amorphous. We observe a lar...
متن کاملFabrication of 3D photonic components on bulk crystalline silicon.
We have fabricated three dimensional photonic components such as waveguides and beam splitters from crystalline silicon using a process based on one or more ion irradiation steps with different energies and fluences, followed by electrochemical anodization and thermal annealing. We first demonstrate the fabrication of multilevel silicon waveguides and then extend this process to make multilevel...
