Synthesis and characterisation of nanolayer passivating contacts for high efficiency solar cells
- Abstract:
-
Silicon solar panels currently suffer from defects at silicon-metal interfaces, which negatively impact their efficiency. To address this issue, passivating contact structures have been developed to reduce the harmful effects of interface defects. While SiOx/poly-Si contacts have proved an effective electron contact, they are less effective as a hole contact, due to the lower conductivity to holes and high boron diffusivity through the SiOx. The thin layers in the passivating contacts proh...
