AbstractThe descriptive scattering parameters, haze and angular distribution functions of textured ZnO:Al transparent conductive oxides with different surface roughness are measured. An approach to determine the scattering parameters of all internal interfaces in p-i-n a-Si:H solar cells deposited on the glass/ZnO:Al substrates is presented. Using the determined scattering parameters as the input parameters of the optical model, a good agreement between the measured and simulated quantum efficiencies of the p-i-n a-Si:H solar cells with different interface roughness is achieved.

AbstractMapping Low Angle Light Scattering method (MLALS) is proposed to study defect structure in materials used for solar cell production. Several types of defects are observed in Czochralski Si1−xGex (0.022<x<0.047) single crystals. Recombination activity of these defects is investigated. The possibility of contactless visualisation of grain boundary recombination in polysilicon is also demonstrated.

Industrial Use

The paper deals with obtaining of textured silicon surfaces by chemical etching. As a result of experiments based on the modification and optimization of obtaining a textured silicon, several methods of chemical texturing of the crystalline silicon surface were developed. It was shown that modified isotropic and anisotropic etching methods are applicable to create a microrelief on the surface of silicon substrate. These methods in addition to their high conversion efficiency can be used for both mono- and multicrystalline silicon which would ensure their industrial use.
