Abstract EN
The enhancement of optical absorption of silicon thin-film solar cells by the p- and n-type μc-SiO x:H as doped and functional layers was presented.
The effects of deposition conditions and oxygen content on optical, electrical, and structural properties of μc-SiO x:H films were also discussed.
Regarding the doped μc-SiO x:H films, the wide optical band gap ( E 04 ) of 2.33 eV while maintaining a high conductivity of 0.2 S/cm could be obtained with oxygen incorporation of 20 at.%.
Compared to the conventional μc-Si:H(p) as window layer in μc-Si:H single-junction solar cells, the application of μc-SiO x:H(p) increased the V O C and led to a significant enhancement in the short-wavelength spectral response.
Meanwhile, the employment of μc-SiO x:H(n) instead of conventional ITO as back reflecting layer (BRL) enhanced the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of μc-Si:H single-junction cell in the long-wavelength region, leading to a relative efficiency gain of 10%.
Compared to the reference cell, the optimized a-Si:H/μc-Si:H tandem cell by applying p- and n-type μc-SiO x:H films achieved a V O C of 1.37 V, J S C of 10.55 mA/cm2, FF of 73.67%, and efficiency of 10.51%, which was a relative enhancement of 16%.
