In Situ Reflectometry and Diffraction Investigation of the Multiscale Structure of p-Type Polysilicon Passivating Contacts for c-Si Solar Cells

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Andrea Ingenito, Audrey Marie Isabelle Morisset

The integration of passivating contacts based on a highly doped polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) layer on top of a thin silicon oxide (SiOx) layer has been identified as the next step to further increase the conversion efficiency of current mainstream cry ...

Optimization of front SiNx/ITO stacks for high-efficiency two-side contacted c-Si solar cells with co-annealed front and rear passivating contacts

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Xavier Niquille, Andrea Ingenito, Sylvain Nicolay, Frank Meyer

In this contribution, we present an electron selective passivating contact metallised with a low temperature process to target front side applications in crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells. In addition to an interfacial silicon oxide (SiOx) and an in-s ...

Low Temperature p-type Microcrystalline Silicon as Carrier Selective Contact for Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells

Christophe Ballif, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Raphaël Monnard, Angela Nicole Fioretti

Silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells have reached record efficiency, particularly in all-back-contacted architectures. Despite this, two-side contacted SHJ cells still suffer from parasitic absorption and series resistance losses in the amorphous silic ...

Amorphous silicon enhanced metal-insulator-semiconductor contacts for silicon solar cells

Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Stefaan De Wolf, Bénédicte Demaurex

Carrier recombination at the metal-semiconductor contacts has become a significant obstacle to the further advancement of high-efficiency diffused-junction silicon solar cells. This paper provides the proof-of-concept of a procedure to reduce contact recom ...
