Photo-excited hot carrier dynamics in hydrogenated amorphous silicon imaged by 4D electron microscopy.
Charge carrier dynamics in amorphous semiconductors has been a topic of intense research that has been propelled by modern applications in thin-film solar cells, transistors and optical sensors. Charge transport in these materials differs fundamentally from that in crystalline semiconductors owing to the lack of long-range order and high defect density. Despite the existence of well-established...
متن کاملStudies of the Structure of Amorphous Silicon Solar Cell Materials and Devices Using Surface Analysis Techniques
Thin film hydrogenated amorphous silicon solar cells have been improved significantly through research, development and manufacturing since their discovery twenty years ago, but there are still a number of fundamental problems and issues that must be resolved before they can reach their full potential. There is still a significant lack of knowledge about the structure and bonding of hydrogenate...
متن کاملThin-film amorphous silicon germanium solar cells with p- and n-type hydrogenated silicon oxide layers
Mixed-phase hydrogenated silicon oxide (SiOx:H) is applied to thin-film hydrogenated amorphous silicon germanium (a-SiGe:H) solar cells serving as both p-doped and n-doped layers. The bandgap of p-SiOx:H is adjusted to achieve a highly-transparent window layer while also providing a strong electric field. Bandgap grading of n-SiOx:H is designed to obtain a smooth transition of the energy band e...
متن کاملData supporting the role of electric field and electrode material on the improvement of the ageing effects in hydrogenated amorphous silicon solar cells
Hydrogenated amorphous Si (a-Si:H) solar cells are strongly affected by the well known Staebler-Wronski effect. This is a worsening of solar cell performances under light soaking which results in a substantial loss of cell power conversion efficiency compared to time zero performance. It is believed not to be an extrinsic effect, but rather a basic phenomenon related to the nature of a-Si:H and...
متن کاملPolarized electroabsorption spectra and light soaking of solar cells based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon
We present grazing-incidence measurements of polarized electroabsorption spectra in p – i – n solar cells based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H!. We find a significantly stronger polarization dependence in the present measurements compared with earlier work based on electroabsorption detected using coplanar electrodes on a-Si:H thin films. We do not find any significant dependence of ...
