To obtain high efficiency silicon solar cells, the authors have investigated the rear heterostructure comprising a p-type single crystalline silicon (c-Si) substrate and a highly boron doped (p{sup +}) hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon ({micro}c-Si:H) film. This heterostructure was formed by rear micro contacts where a SiO{sub 2} film was opened on the rear surface of the substrate. V{sub oc} was improved by an effective BSF using this heterostructure. With optimal design of finger electrode patterns, a conversion efficiency of 23.5% (AM1.5, 25 C, 100 mW/cm{sup 2}) was obtained for a single crystalline silicon solar cell in 5 x 5 cm{sup 2} area.
