In situ silicon oxide based intermediate reflector for thin-film silicon micromorph solar cells
We show that SiO-based intermediate reflectors SOIRs can be fabricated in the same reactor and with the same process gases as used for thin-film silicon solar cells. By varying input gas ratios, SOIR layers with a wide range of optical and electrical properties are obtained. The influence of the SOIR thickness in the micromorph cell is studied and current gain and losses are discussed. Initial ...
متن کاملNew progress in the fabrication of n–i–p micromorph solar cells for opaque substrates
In this paper, we investigate tandem amorphous/microcrystalline silicon solar cells with asymmetric intermediate reflectors grown in the n–i–p substrate configuration. We compare different types of substrates with respect to their light-trapping properties as well as their influence on the growth of single-junction microcrystalline cells. Our most promising back reflector combines a textured zi...
متن کاملThe “micromorph” Solar Cell: Extending A-si:h Technology towards Thin Film Crystalline Silicon
Recent progress of solar cells based on plasma deposited hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (PCSi:H), as well as on combined a-Si:H/pc-Si:H stacked “micromorph” solar cells is reported. kc-Si:H p-i-n cells with a thickness of 3.6 pm, deposited with the use of a gas-purifier, are shown to have a short-circuit current of over 25 mAlcm2, and a stable efficiency of 7.7%. a-Si:H/pc-Si:H tandem ce...
متن کاملImproving the optical properties of thin film plasmonic solar cells of InP absorber layer using nanowires
In this paper, a thin-film InP-based solar cell designed and simulated. The proposed InP solar cell has a periodic array of plasmonic back-reflector, which consists of a silver layer and two silver nanowires. The indium tin oxide (ITO) layer also utilized as an anti-reflection coating (ARC) layer on top. The design creates a light-trapping structure by using a plasmonic back-reflector and an an...
متن کاملLight-management Strategies for Thin-film Silicon Multijunction Solar Cells
Light management is of crucial importance to reach high efficiencies with thin-film silicon multijunction solar cells. In this contribution, we present lightmanagement strategies that we recently developed. This includes high quality absorber materials, low-refractive index intermediate reflectors, and highly transparent multiscale electrodes. Specifically, we show the fabrication of high-effic...
