High-efficiency thin-film polycrystalline-silicon solar cells
Journal Article
·
· J. Appl. Phys.; (United States)
The deposition of a silicon film containing a p-n junction on a metallurgical silicon substrate has been used for the preparation of thin-film silicon solar cells. The substrate was prepared by the unidirectional solidification of purified metallurgical silicon on a graphite plate, and the silicon film was deposited by the thermal reduction of trichlorosilane with hydrogen containing appropriate dopants. Solar cells of the p/sup +//n/n/sup +/-metallurgical silicon/graphite configuration have been prepared, and the AM1 efficiencies of 9--10 cm/sup 2/ area cells are up to 9.5%
