Atomic structure of interface states in silicon heterojunction solar cells.
Combining orientation dependent electrically detected magnetic resonance and g tensor calculations based on density functional theory we assign microscopic structures to paramagnetic states involved in spin-dependent recombination at the interface of hydrogenated amorphous silicon crystalline silicon (a-Si:H/c-Si) heterojunction solar cells. We find that (i) the interface exhibits microscopic r...
متن کاملHeterojunction silicon microwire solar cells.
We report radial heterojunction solar cells of amorphous silicon on crystalline silicon microwires with high surface passivation. While the shortened collection path is exploited to increase the photocurrent, proper choice of the wire radius and the highly passivated surface prevent drastic decrease in the voltage due to high surface-to-volume ratio. The heterojunction is formed by depositing a...
متن کاملTexturing for Heterojunction Silicon Solar Cells
Heterojunction solar cells have potential for very high device voltages and currents, yet this relies on correct preparation of wafer surfaces prior to a-Si deposition. This paper investigates the preparation of wafer surfaces by NaOH texturing prior to amorphous silicon intrinsic layer deposition. It is found that with a CP etch or low temperature anneal after texturing, and with correct depos...
متن کاملTowards a Better Understanding of Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells
1. Introduction Semiconducting heterostructures increasingly attract attention for electronic junction formation in crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafer-based solar cells. A key point of such a device is the displacement of highly recombination-active (ohmic) contacts from the crystalline surface by insertion of a film with wide bandgap. To reach the full device potential, the heterointerface state...
متن کاملSilicon Heterojunction Solar Cells on N- and P-type Wafers
A systematic comparison of frontand rear-emitter silicon heterojunction solar cells produced on nand p-type wafers was performed, in order to investigate their potential and limitations for high efficiencies. Cells on p-type wafers suffer from reduced minority carrier lifetime in the low-carrier-injection range, mainly due to the asymmetry in interface defect capture cross sections. This leads ...
