Comparison of periodic and random structures for scattering in thin- film microcrystalline silicon solar cells
Random structures are typically used for light trapping in thin-film silicon solar cells. However, theoretically periodic structures can outperform random structures in such applications. In this paper we compare random and periodic structures of similar shape. Both types of structure are based on atomic force microscopy (AFM) scans of a sputtered and etched ZnO layer. The absorption in a solar...
متن کاملElectronic transport in hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon: similarities with amorphous silicon
Undoped hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (lc-Si:H) layers were grown by the very high frequency glow discharge (VHF-GD) technique under various deposition conditions. The electronic transport properties under illumination were investigated by means of steady-state photoconductivity and steady-state photocarrier grating methods. Similarly to hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H), power la...
متن کاملUltrafast carrier dynamics in undoped microcrystalline silicon
We have studied ultrafast dynamics of photoexcited carriers in mc-Si:H by pump and probe laser spectroscopy. We have found that the dynamics of photoexcited carriers in mc-Si:H depend on the crystallinity of the material: in the samples with low crystalline fraction, the dynamics have a fast decay and resemble those in a-Si:H, while in the samples with high crystallinity the dynamics are slower...
متن کاملHeterogeneous growth of microcrystalline silicon germanium
Microcrystalline silicon germanium films showing excellent opto-electronic properties have been prepared at a substrate temperature of 1951C by radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition at 13.56MHz. A white light (AM 1.5) photoconductivity of 5 10 /O cm and ambipolar diffusion length of 114 nm (from SSPG) established the device quality. Films are intrinsic (Fermi level near midg...
متن کاملPhotocurrents in a Single InAs Nanowire/Silicon Heterojunction.
We investigate the optoelectronic properties of single indium arsenide nanowires, which are grown vertically on p-doped silicon substrates. We apply a scanning photocurrent microscopy to study the optoelectronic properties of the single heterojunctions. The measured photocurrent characteristics are consistent with an excess charge carrier transport through midgap trap states, which form at the ...
