Abstract

Efficient crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cells are fabricated on p -type wafers using amorphous silicon emitter and back contact layers. The independently confirmed AM1.5 conversion efficiencies are 19.3% on a float-zone wafer and 18.8% on a Czochralski wafer; conversion efficiencies show no significant light-induced degradation. The best open-circuit voltage is above 700 mV. Surface cleaning and passivation play important roles in heterojunction solar cell performance.
