Feasibility of using thin crystalline silicon films epitaxially grown at 165 °C in solar cells: A computer simulation study

We have previously reported on the successful deposition of heterojunction solar cells whose thin intrinsic crystalline absorber layer is grown using the standard radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition process at 165 ◦C on highly doped P-type (100) crystalline silicon substrates. The structure had an N-doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon emitter deposited on top of the intr...

Simulation and Fabrication of Heterojunction Silicon Solar Cells from Numerical Computer and Hot-Wire CVD

In this paper, we will present a Pc1D numerical simulation for heterojunction (HJ) silicon solar cells, and discuss their possibilities and limitations. By means of modeling and numerical computer simulation, the influence of emitter-layer/intrinsic-layer/crystalline-Si heterostructures with different thickness and crystallinity on the solar cell performance is investigated and compared with ho...

Understanding of Passivation Mechanism in Heterojunction c-Si Solar Cells

Intrinsic hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films can yield in outstanding electronic surface passivation of crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafers as utilized in the HIT (heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer) solar cells. We have studied the correlation between the passivation quality and the interface nature between thin amorphous layers and an underlying c-Si substrate for understanding...
