Effect 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 کاملHydrogenation effect on low temperature internal gettering in multicrystalline silicon
We have performed a comprehensive study into low temperature ( 500 °C) internal gettering in multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si). Two groups of as-grown mc-Si wafers from different ingot height positions were subjected to the same thermal treatments with surface passivation by either silicon nitride (SiNx:H) or a temporary iodine-ethanol (I-E) chemical solution . With either passivation scheme, l...
متن کاملComparison of Recombination Activity of Grain Boundaries in Various Multicrystalline Silicon Materials
We compare the recombination properties of grain boundaries in conventionally-solidified p-type, ntype and ‘high performance’ p-type multicrystalline silicon wafers in terms of their surface recombination velocities, and evaluate their response to phosphorus gettering and hydrogenation. Overall, grain boundaries in the conventional p-type samples were found to be more recombination active than ...
متن کاملOhmic Contact of Cu/Mo and Cu/Ti Thin Layers on Multi-Crystalline Silicon Substrates
Cu-Mo and Cu-Ti contact structures were fabricated on multi-crystalline silicon substrates to provide a low resistance ohmic contact. Deposition steps are done in an excellent vacuum chamber by means of electron beam evaporation and samples are then annealed for the realization of an efficient alloy layer. The effects of process parameters such as film thickness, annealing duration and temp...
متن کاملEffects of solar cell processing steps on dislocation luminescence in multicrystalline silicon
We examine the impacts of hydrogenation and phosphorus gettering steps on the deep-level photoluminescence spectra of dislocations and the surrounding regions in multicrystalline silicon wafers, using micro-photoluminescence spectroscopy with micron-scale spatial resolution. We found that the D1 line, originating from secondary defects around dislocation sites, was enhanced significantly after ...
