Abstract Silicon solar cells with selective contacts based on boron phosphide (BP) demonstrate a high potential according to simulation. However, the influence of defects created at the BP/Si interface during BP deposition is a critical issue for solar cell performance. The computer simulations were performed to understand how the defects in the near-surface region and at the interface affect the photovoltaic properties. Calculations of the dependence of the characteristics of solar cells on parameters such as the density of interface states, the concentration of defects in the near-surface region, and its width were made.

AbstractWe have observed a significant light-induced increase in the open-circuit voltage (Voc) of mixed-phase hydrogenated silicon solar cells. In this study, we investigate the kinetics of the light-induced effects. The results show that the cells with different initial Voc have different kinetic behavior. For the cells with a low initial Voc (less than 0.8 V), the increase in Voc is slow and does not saturate for light-soaking time of up to 16 hours. For the cells with medium initial Voc (0.8 ∼ 0.95 V), the Voc increases rapidly and then saturates. Cells with high initial Voc (0.95 ∼ 0.98 V) show an initial increase in Voc, followed bya Voc decrease. All light-soaked cells exhibit a degradation in fill factor. The temperature dependence of the kinetics shows that light soaking at high temperatures causes Voc increase to saturate faster than at low temperatures. The observed results can be explained by our recently proposed two-diode equivalent-circuit model for mixed-phase solar cells.
