متن کاملValence band alignment and hole transport in amorphous/crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cells
To investigate the hole transport across amorphous/crystalline silicon heterojunctions, solar cells with varying band offsets were fabricated using amorphous silicon suboxide films. The suboxides enable good passivation if covered by a doped amorphous silicon layer. Increasing valence band offsets yield rising hole transport barriers and reduced device effciencies. Carrier transport by thermal ...
متن کاملInkjet Printing of Isolation Layers for Back-Contacted Silicon-Heterojunction Solar Cells
For wafer based silicon solar cells, the combination of amorphous/crystalline silicon (a-Si:H/c-Si) heterojunction emitters (SHJ) [1] and back-contacted back-junction solar cell concepts (BCBJ) [2] offer a very high efficiency potential of around 24%. Stangl et al. proposed a relatively simple and therefore attractive cell concept comprising a two level metallization isolated by an insulation l...
متن کاملPlasma-initiated rehydrogenation of amorphous silicon to increase the temperature processing window of silicon heterojunction solar cells
The dehydrogenation of intrinsic hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) at temperatures above approximately 300 °C degrades its ability to passivate silicon wafer surfaces. This limits the temperature of post-passivation processing steps during the fabrication of advanced silicon heterojunction or silicon-based tandem solar cells. We demonstrate that a hydrogen plasma can rehydrogenate intrins...
متن کاملEffect of Light Induced Degradation on Passivating Properties of A-si:h Layers Deposited on Crystalline Si
Passivation properties of intrinsic hydrogenated amorphous silicon (i a-Si:H) layers on nand p-type doped monocrystalline silicon (c-Si) are studied in two thickness series. The effect of light soaking on the passivation performance of a-Si:H i-layers of varying thicknesses are evaluated. Within the thickness series, optimized i a-Si:H layers show very good passivation properties (Seff as low a...
