Exploiting extrinsic passivation on thin film dielectrics for high efficiency solar cells
- Abstract:
-
The development of high efficiency solar cells is critical for the expansion of solar power capacity across the world. A major limitation to achieving high efficiency is the recombination of electrons and holes at the silicon surface. A common method to reduce recombination is to deposit a dielectric thin film, such as SiO2 or SiNx, upon the silicon surface. This serves to chemically passivate the surface, while the dielectric’s intrinsic charge provides a surface ele...
