Modelling of light scattering from micro- and nanotextured surfaces

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Corsin Battaglia

We present a calculation routine for the angular and spectral dependence of scattered light after transmission through textured interfaces. Based on a modified Rayleigh–Sommerfeld integral, the treatment requires only measured surface profiles, and the ref ...

Resistive interlayer for improved performance of thin film silicon solar cells on highly textured substrate

Christophe Ballif, Matthieu Despeisse, Grégory Bugnon, Andrea Feltrin, Peter Cuony, Adrian Billet

The deposition of thin-film silicon solar cells on highly textured substrates results in improved light trapping in the cell. However, the growth of silicon layers on rough substrates can often lead to undesired current drains, degrading performance and re ...

Mixed-phase p-type silicon oxide containing silicon nanocrystals and its role in thin-film silicon solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Matthieu Despeisse, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Grégory Bugnon, Peter Cuony, Michael Marending

Lower absorption, lower refractive index, and tunable resistance are three advantages of amorphous silicon oxide containing nanocrystalline silicon grains nc-SiOx compared to microcrystalline silicon c-Si, when used as a p-type layer in c-Si thin-film sola ...

Distance-controlled scattering in a plasmonic trap

Olivier Martin, Lina Huang

Light scattered by a dielectric object when it is trapped in the field of a plasmonic nanostructure is studied theoretically and experimentally using both dielectric spheres and S. cerevisiae cells. A dramatic enhancement of the scattered light is observed ...

Purcell-Factor-Enhanced Scattering from Si Nanocrystals in an Optical Microcavity

Tobias Kippenberg

Scattering processes in an optical microcavity are investigated for the case of silicon nanocrystals embedded in an ultra-high-Q toroid microcavity. Using a novel measurement technique based on the observable mode splitting, we demonstrate that light scatt ...

TEM characterization of textured silicon heterojunction solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Christian Monachon

Increasing the efficiency of crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells requires the reduction of both bulk and interface recombination. Even if bulk recombination is almost suppressed, the symmetry of the crystal lattice is disturbed at the surface and hence, ...

Opto-electronic properties of rough LP-CVD ZnO:B for use as TCO in thin-film silicon solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Sylvie Faÿ

Polycrystalline Boron-doped ZnO films deposited by low pressure chemical vapor deposition technique are developed for their use as transparent contacts for thin-film silicon solar cells. The size of the columnar grains that constitute the ZnO films is rela ...
