Abstract

Single or multiple-junction solar cells combining hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si;H) and/or microcrystalline silicon thin films with a single-crystalline silicon or polycrystalline silicon (Poly-Si) substrate have potential for high efficiency and long-term stability. The processing temperatures for such cells need not exceed 250 °C and, except for the Si substrate, only chemical and physical vapor depositions are used for cell fabrication. We are studying two cell structures: single-junction with the structure of p-type μc-Si/p-type a-Si:H/n-type c-Si and two-junction with the structure of n-i-p a iX:H/n⁺-p c-Si.
