Zr-doped indium oxide electrodes: Annealing and thickness effects on microstructure and carrier transport

Christophe Ballif, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Monica Morales Masis, Oscar Esteban Rucavado Leandro, Federica Landucci

Zr-doped indium oxide (In2O3:Zr) has been shown to satisfy the requirements of low resistance, wide band gap, and high infrared transmittance for application as a front contact in broadband solar cells. However, the reduction of indium usage in front of tr ...

Passivation, conductivity, and selectivity in solar cell contacts: Concepts and simulations based on a unified partial-resistances framework

Mathieu Gérard Boccard

Passivation, conductivity, and selectivity are often acknowledged as the three requirements for optimal contacts to photovoltaic solar cells. Although there are generally accepted definitions and metrics for passivation and conductivity, a common understan ...

Contact Resistivity of the p-Type Amorphous Silicon Hole Contact in Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells

Mathieu Gérard Boccard

In silicon heterojunction solar cells made with high-lifetime wafers, resistive losses in the contacts dominate the total electrical power loss. Moreover, it is widely believed that the hole contact stack—a-Si:H(i)/a-Si:H(p)/ITO/Ag—is responsible for more ...

Full-Area Passivating Contacts with High and Low Thermal Budgets: Solutions for High Efficiency c-Si Solar Cells

Gizem Nogay

Today more than 90% of the global PV market is covered by c-Si solar cells which are limited by recombination losses at the metal-semiconductor interface. This recombination path can be avoided by separating the metal from the c-Si wafer by introducing a b ...
