Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a material that belongs to the family of Transparent Conductives Oxides (TCO). Its non-toxicity and the abundant availability in the Earth's crust of its components make it an ideal candidate as electrical transparent contact for thin-f ...
Hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon prepared at low temperatures by the glow discharge technique is examined here with respect to its role as a new thin-film photovoltaic absorber material. XRD and TEM characterizations reveal that microcrystalline silic ...
'Micromorph' tandem solar cells consisting of a microcrystalline silicon bottom cell and an amorphous silicon top cell are considered as one of the most promising new thin-film silicon solar-cell concepts. Their promise lies in the hope of simultaneously a ...
The determination of the crystalline volume fraction from the Raman spectra of microcrystalline silicon involves the knowledge of a material parameter called the Raman emission cross-section ratio y. This value is still debated in the literature. In the pr ...
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, ...
The micromorph solar cell (stack of amorphous and microcrystalline cells) concept is the key for achieving high efficiency stabilized thin film silicon solar cells. We introduce a device structure that allows a better control of the light in-coupling into ...
