Amorphous silicon-germanium for triple and quadruple junction thin-film silicon based solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Matthieu Despeisse, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Grégory Bugnon, Björn Niesen, Michael Elias Stückelberger, Maximilien Joseph Marie Bonnet-Eymard

We study amorphous silicon-germanium (a-SiGe:H) as intrinsic absorber material for thin-film silicon-based triple and quadruple junction solar cells. First, we present the development of a-SiGe:H single junction devices, in particular the Ge-content gradin ...

High-Stable-Efficiency Tandem Thin-Film Silicon Solar Cell With Low-Refractive-Index Silicon-Oxide Interlayer

Christophe Ballif, Xavier Niquille, Matthieu Despeisse, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Jordi Escarre Palou, Grégory Bugnon, Maximilien Joseph Marie Bonnet-Eymard

We report the recent advances and key requirements for high-efficiency "micromorph" tandem thin-film silicon solar cells composed of an amorphous silicon top cell and a microcrystalline silicon bottom cell. The impact of inserting a low-refractive-index si ...

Optimized short-circuit current mismatch in multi-junction solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Matthieu Despeisse, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Grégory Bugnon, Fanny Sculati-Meillaud, Maximilien Joseph Marie Bonnet-Eymard

Multi-junction photovoltaic devices include two or more component sub-cells which are electrically interconnected in series. At any power point, the current output of the total device is limited by the sub-cell with the smallest current density. Therefore, ...

Light Harvesting Schemes for High Efficiency Thin Film Silicon Solar Cells

Christophe Ballif, Corsin Battaglia, Matthieu Despeisse, Jordi Escarre Palou, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Sylvain Nicolay, Laura Ding, Gaetano Parascandolo, Grégory Bugnon, Peter Cuony

In Thin Film Silicon (TF-Si) solar cells light harvesting schemes must guarantee an efficient light trapping in the thin absorber layers without decreasing the silicon layers quality and consecutively the p-i-n diodes electrical performance. TF-Si solar ce ...
