RIE-Texturing of Multicrystalline Silicon Solar Cells
We developed a maskless plasma texturing technique for multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) cells using Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) that results in higher cell performance than that of standard untextured cells. Elimination of plasma damage has been achieved while keeping front reflectance to extremely low levels. Internal quantum efficiencies as high as those on planar cells have been obtained, boo...
متن کاملTexturing industrial multicrystalline silicon solar cells
Three potential techniques for texturing commercial multicrystalline silicon solar cells are compared on the basis of reflectance measurements. Wet acidic texturing, which would be the least costly to implement, produces a modest improvement in reflection before antireflection coating and encapsulation, whereas maskless reactive-ion etching texturing, and especially masked reactive-ion etched p...
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 کاملAmorphous Silicon–based Solar Cells
Crystalline semiconductors are very well known, including silicon (the basis of the integrated circuits used in modern electronics), Ge (the material of the first transistor), GaAs and the other III-V compounds (the basis for many light emitters), and CdS (often used as a light sensor). In crystals, the atoms are arranged in near-perfect, regular arrays or lattices. Of course, the lattice must ...
متن کاملINTERFACIAL OPTICAL SPECTRA IN AMORPHOUS SILICON BASED pin SOLAR CELLS
We present infrared transmittance and reflection modulation spectra for changes in the reverse bias voltage across a variety of amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) based pin and min solar cells and diodes. The spectra originate with the change in charge state of levels near the two intrinsic-layer interfaces. The spectra vary significantly for differing interfaces, and we therefore propose their applica...
