Production volume of PV modules increases at > 35% per year, but one is yet far from making a global impact on energy supply. One of the obstacles is given by the present high production costs of PV modules. A possibility to reduce costs are thin-film PV m ...
Hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) layers about 500 nm thick were deposited in the same run on flat and rough substrates (rms = 60 nm) of various chemical nature. This study reveals that the spatial distribution of the microcrystalline/amorpho ...
A series of nip-type microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) single-junction solar cells has been studied by electrical characterisation, by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and by Raman spectroscopy using 514 and 633 nm excitation light and both top- and ...
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a material that belongs to the family of Transparent Conductives Oxides (TCO). Its non-toxicity and the abundant availability in the Earth's crust of its components make it an ideal candidate as electrical transparent contact for thin-f ...
The optical absorption coefficient of amorphous and microcrystalline silicon was determined in a spectral range 400-3100 nm and a temperature range 77-350 K. Transmittance measurement and Fourier transform photocurrent spectroscopy were used. The measured ...
Hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon i-layers were deposited with a fixed silane concentration on various substrates and incorporated into n-i-p solar cells. 'Average crystallinity' and detailed microstructure of layers and devices were evaluated by X-ray ...
This contribution describes the introduction of hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) as novel absorber material for thin-film silicon solar cells. Work done at IMT Neuchâtel in connection with deposition of μc-Si:H layers by very high frequency ...
The microstructure and open-circuit voltage of n-i-p microcrystalline silicon solar cells were discussed. A mixed phase layer consisting of amorphous plus microcrystalline material was observed at the bottom of the solar cell and identified as one of the k ...
Intrinsic microcrystalline silicon opens up new ways for silicon thin-film multi-junction solar cells, the most promising being the "micromorph" tandem concept. The microstructure of entirely microcrystalline p-i-n solar cells is investigated by transmissi ...
Undoped hydrogenated amorphous silicon layers deposited at different values of very high frequency (VHF) powers and silane to hydrogen dilution ratios possess various types of microstructures. Transport and defect measurements on layers suggest that struct ...
