Study the Effect of Silicon Nanowire Length on Characteristics of Silicon Nanowire Based Solar Cells by Using Impedance Spectroscopy
Silicon nanowire (SiNW) arrays were produced by electroless method on polycrystalline Si substrate, in HF/ AgNO3 solution. Although the monocrystalline silicon wafer is commonly utilized as a perfect substrate, polycrystalline silicon as a low cost substrate was used in this work for photovoltaic applications. In order to study the influence of etching time (which affects the SiNWs length) on d...
متن کاملEffect of Silicon Nanowire on Crystalline Silicon Solar Cell Characteristics
Nanowires (NWs) are recently used in several sensor or actuator devices to improve their ordered characteristics. Silicon nanowire (Si NW) is one of the most attractive one-dimensional nanostructures semiconductors because of its unique electrical and optical properties. In this paper, silicon nanowire (Si NW), is synthesized and characterized for application in photovoltaic device. Si NWs are ...
متن کاملImpurity-to-efficiency Simulator: Predictive Simulation of Solar Cell Efficiencies Based on Measured Metal Distribution and Cell Processing Conditions
We present a fast and simple 1D simulation tool to predict solar cell performance as a function of the initial iron content and distribution in the as-grown silicon wafer, the time-temperature profiles applied during the fabrication process, and several parameters related to cell architecture. The applied model consists of three parts that are validated by comparison to experimental results fro...
متن کاملProgress with Luminescence Imaging for the Characterisation of Silicon Wafers and Solar Cells
Electroluminescence (EL) and photoluminescence (PL) imaging have recently been demonstrated to be fast experimental techniques that allow measurement of the spatial distribution of the diffusion length in silicon solar cells and of the minority carrier lifetime in large area silicon wafers [1, 2]. A practical advantage of these techniques is that data acquisition times for high resolution lumin...
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...
