Electroabsorption and Transport Measurements and Modeling Research in Amorphous Silicon Based Solar Cells: Final Technical Report, 24 March 1998--15 August 2002

    Research output: NRELSubcontract Report

    Abstract

    The contributions of this research project to amorphous silicon solar cells are in the following areas: 1) Improved understanding of the open-circuit voltage; 2) Improved knowledge of the built-in potential; 3) Variations in hole drift-mobilities for differing forms of a-Si:H; 4) Infrared spectroscopy of interfaces in a-Si:H cells; 5) Polymer p-layers; and 6) Hydrogen-based models for defects andmetastability.
