Font Side Solutions for c-Si Solar Cells with High-Temperature Passivating Contacts

Ezgi Genç

In this work, we studied the potential of using thin films deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) for two main purposes: introducing an n-type passivating contact at the front of a TOPCon solar cell, or simplifying the fabrication o ...

EPFL2024

The recombination of photogenerated charge carriers at metal-semiconductor interfaces remains a major source of efficiency loss in photovoltaic cells. Here, we present SiNx and AlOx nanolayers as promising interface dielectrics to enable high efficiency ho ...

Carrier-selective contacts using metal compounds for crystalline silicon solar cells

Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Julie Amandine Dreon

Solar cells rely on the efficient generation of electrons and holes and the subsequent collection of these photoexcited charge carriers at spatially separated electrodes. High wafer quality is now commonplace for crystalline silicon (c-Si) based solar cell ...

Material Development for Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Photovoltaics

Peter Joseph Fiala

The developed world is built on the fact that energy is readily available and functionally infinite. The electricity from the wall, the gas at the station, and the heat in our homes are reliable and low-cost. But this comfort is so far only possible throug ...

Status and perspectives of crystalline silicon photovoltaics in research and industry

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Mathieu Gérard Boccard

Crystalline silicon (c-Si) photovoltaics has long been considered energy intensive and costly. Over the past decades, spectacular improvements along the manufacturing chain have made c-Si a low-cost source of electricity that can no longer be ignored. Over ...

Wireless neuromodulation with porous silicon

Silvestro Micera

Wireless optoelectronic devices are fabricated by controlling the porosity of p-type silicon, enabling in vivo efficient, non-genetic optoelectronic modulation of peripheral nerve activity. ...

Linking simulation and synthesis of nickel oxide hole-selective contacts for silicon heterojunction solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Jan Haschke, Angela Nicole Fioretti, Rachel Emma Woods-Robinson

In silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells, one factor limiting efficiency is "parasitic absorption" from amorphous silicon (a-Si) at the front surface. Thus, discovery of a transparent hole-selective contact to replace p-type a-Si is a promising area of ...

This work presents a systematic analysis of the transport mechanism and surface passivation of tunneling oxide (SiO2)/p-type poly-silicon (poly-Si(p)) junctions applied to p-type crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells by means of TCAD numerical simulations ...

Impact Impact of different capping layers on carrier injection efficiency between amorphous and crystalline silicon measured using photoluminescence

Andrea Ingenito, Gizem Nogay, Philipp Friedrich Hermann Löper

Intrinsic amorphous silicon provides excellent surface passivation on crystalline silicon. It has previously been shown, that carriers that are photo generated in the amorphous silicon can be efficiently electronically injected into the crystalline silicon ...
