Thin-film Silicon Solar Cells
The simplest semiconductor junction that is used in solar cells for separating photogenerated charge carriers is the p-n junction, an interface between the p-type region and ntype region of one semiconductor. Therefore, the basic semiconductor property of a material, the possibility to vary its conductivity by doping, has to be demonstrated first before the material can be considered as a suita...
متن کاملLight-induced Degradation of Thin-film Microcrystalline Silicon Solar Cells
This paper evaluates the stability of a pin and a nip dilution series of microcrystalline silicon solar cells when exposed to white light (AM 1.5-like spectrum). Variation of electrical parameters and defect-related absorption is investigated as a function of light soaking and annealing steps. Cells of medium crystallinity show less than 10% reversible relative efficiency loss after 1000 hours ...
متن کاملBroadband light absorption enhancement in thin-film silicon solar cells.
Currently, the performances of thin film solar cells are limited by poor light absorption and carrier collection. In this research, large, broadband, and polarization-insensitive light absorption enhancement was realized via integrating with unique metallic nanogratings. Through simulation, three possible mechanisms were identified to be responsible for such an enormous enhancement. A test for ...
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...
متن کاملAchieving Improved Optical Thin Film Control and Uniformity of Silicon Dioxide by Using Ion Assisted Deposition
We have found that the deposition of critical optical thin film stacks with silicon dioxide from an electron beam gun is severely limited by the stabilty of the evaporation pattern of the material. We had not obtained satisfactory results in some of the more demanding applications with either solid or granular starting material. The amount of material deposited on a central monitor chip or cont...
