26.7% Efficient 4-Terminal Perovskite–Silicon Tandem Solar Cell Composed of a High-Performance Semitransparent Perovskite Cell and a Doped Poly-Si/SiO_x Passivating Contact Silicon Cell

Journal Article Rohatgi, Ajeet ; Zhu, Kai ; Tong, Jinhui ; ... - IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics

The rapid rise in single-junction perovskite solar cell (PSC) efficiencies, tunable bandgap, and low-cost solution processability make PSCs an attractive candidate for tandems with Si bottom cells. However, the challenge is to fabricate a high-performance semitransparent perovskite top cell in combination with an appropriate silicon bottom cell with high response to long wavelength photons that are filtered through the perovskite top cell. Currently, semitransparent perovskite cells show much lower performance compared with their opaque counterparts, while high-performance silicon bottom cells, such as heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer and interdigitated back contact, may be too expensive to meet the cost andmore »« less

A novel p-type nanocrystalline Si buffer at the p/i interface of a-Si solar cells for high stabilized efficiency

Conference Lee, C H ; Lim, K S

The authors investigated the properties of a novel p-type nanocrystalline Si (p-nc-Si) prepared onto p-a-SiC and the effect of using the buffer with an energy bandgap over 1.9 eV at the p/i interface on the performance of p/i/n type amorphous silicon based solar cells. At the initial growth stage of the p-nc-Si onto p-a-SiC, Si nanocrystallites are proved to be formed in amorphous matrix within the thickness of less than 100 {angstrom}. The open circuit voltage and the blue response of the cell were improved significantly by inserting the film at the p/i interface as a buffer as compared withmore »« less
Evaluation of microroughness at SiO{sub 2}/Si interfaces for high-efficiency crystalline Si solar cells

Book Saitoh, Tadashi ; Mori, Kenji

Microroughness at SiO{sub 2}/Si interfaces has been characterized using a non-contact spectroscopic ellipsometry. From simulation, the peak height at E{sub 2} photon energy in imaginary dielectric functions was very sensitive for the microroughness measurement. The ellipsometric method was confirmed by atomic force microscope. In an HF etching to remove an SiO{sub 2} overlayer on the Si surface, microroughness tended to decrease with the decrease of HF concentration. Using the diluted 5% HF solution, SiO{sub 2}/Si interfaces were denuded and evaluated by spectroscopic ellipsometry. The microroughness seems to affect carrier recombination at the SiO{sub 2}/Si interfaces.
