Staebler Wronski Effect

High-efficiency solar cells based on amorphous silicon technology are designed. Multi-junction amorphous silicon solar cells are discussed, how these are made and how their performance can be understood and optimized. Although significant amount of work has been carried out in the last twenty-five years, the Staebler-Wronski effect has limited the development of a-Si:H solar cells. As an alternative material, nc-Si:H has attracted remarkable attention. Taking advantage of a lower degradation in nc-Si:H than a-Si:H and a-SiGe:H alloys, the light induced degradation in triple junction structures has been minimized by designing a bottom-cell-limited current mismatching, and obtained a stable active-area cell efficiency. All this has been investigated in this paper.

Wide Gap

ABSTRACTA hydrogen-plasma treatment has been used for the first time to fabricate wide-gap, high-quality a-Si:H films. The hydrogen content (CH) of a-Si:H films substantially increases by the hydrogen-plasma treatment after deposition, without deteriorating the opto-electric properties of the films. The photoconductivity (σph) of ≥ 10-5 ο-1 cm-1, photosensitivity ( σ ph/σ d) of > 106 and SiH2/SiH of <0.2 are achieved for a film with CH of ∼25 atomic >%. The optical gap of the film is > 1.70 eV by the (α h ν )1/3 plot, and is >2 eV by the Tauc's plot. The open circuit voltage of a-Si solar cells exceeds 1 V conserving the fill factor of > 0.7 when the wide-gap a∼Si:H films are used as the i-layer, which proves the wide band gap and low defect density.
