Seite 44 von 288 Results The amorphous/crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cells with the highest open-circuit voltage of 705 mV [1] and the highest efficiency of 19% [2] still date from before the project start. Their IV-curves are shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 3: Current-voltage curves of our up to now best flat silicon heterojunction solar cells. However, the current of these flat heterojunction solar cells is limited by front surface reflection, because of the surface flatness, instead of random pyramids. Therefore, for the moment, we have limited our efforts on flat crystalline silicon wafers to interface recombination studies and have improved our cell results on textured crystalline silicon. At the beginning of our work with crystalline silicon, after having grown several amorphous silicon layers on different wafers, we started wondering about the differences in measured lifetime curve shapes. Literature research for the modeling of injection level dependent lifetime curves led us to a formalism that considers Shockley-Read-Hall recombination at the crystalline silicon interface, such as considered for silicon dioxide and silicon nitride. But in fact, we discovered that the amorphous/crystalline silicon interface defects are dangling bonds that can have three different charge states (instead of two as for SRH). Considering this amphoteric nature of the present interface defects for lifetime curve modeling purpose, we fall back on a closed-form dangling bond recombination rate that was found in our laboratory 15 years ago. Fig. 4 shows the good accordance of experiment (symbols) and modeling (lines), in the case of intrinsic amorphous silicon passivating various crystalline silicon substrates.

Symbols show experiments and lines modeling with our amphoteric interface recombination model [3]. THIFIC, S. Olibet, IMT Neuchâtel 4/6
