Light-Induced Degradation in Different p-i-n and n-i Schottky Barrier Solar Cell Structures

Light-Induced Degradation in Different p-i-n and n-i Schottky Barrier Solar Cell Structures

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

The issue of the lack of reliable correlation between the characteristics of high performance cells and their intrinsic material properties is addressed in this document. A systematic approach to the question of separating the effects of the bulk from those of the interface is described which is based on the selfconsistent analysis on a variety of both materials and solar cell properties in theannealed and degraded state. The results presented are on characteristics which include not only light I-V but also dark I-V and QE of p-i-n solar cells with different thicknesses as well as on n-i-metal Schottky barrier cell structures. These results are discussed in terms of how the contributions of the bulk i-layers can be established and quantified in the annealed as well as the degradedstates. An example is presented for such a quantitative correlation for a Schottky barrier cell structure in the annealed and degraded states.
