Light trapping in solar cells: can periodic beat random?

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Marco Cantoni, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Corsin Battaglia, Matthieu Despeisse, Jordi Escarre Palou, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Karin Söderström, Mathieu Charrière

Theory predicts that periodic photonic nanostructures should outperform their random counterparts in trapping light in solar cells. However, the current certified world-record conversion efficiency for amorphous silicon thin-film solar cells, which strongl ...

Window layer with p doped silicon oxide for high V-oc thin-film silicon n-i-p solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Jordi Escarre Palou, Céline Pahud, Rémi Biron

We investigate the influence of the oxygen content in boron-doped nanocrystalline silicon oxide films (p-nc-SiOx) and introduce this material as window layer in n-i-p solar cells. The dependence of both, optical and electrical properties on the oxygen cont ...
