Today's solar cell multi-GW market is dominated by crystalline
silicon (c-Si) wafer technology, however new cell concepts are
entering the market. One very promising solar cell design to answer
these needs is the silicon hetero-junction solar cell, of which the
emitter and back surface field are basically produced by a low
temperature growth of ultra-thin layers of amorphous silicon. In
this design, amorphous silicon (a-Si: H) constitutes both emitter"
and base-contact/back surface field" on both sides of a thin
crystalline silicon wafer-base (c-Si) where the electrons and holes
are photogenerated; at the same time, a-Si: H passivates the c-Si
surface. Recently, cell efficiencies above 23% have been
demonstrated for such solar cells.
In this book, the editors present an overview of the
state-of-the-art in physics and technology of amorphous-crystalline
heterostructure silicon solar cells. The heterojunction concept is
introduced, processes and resulting properties of the materials
used in the cell andtheir heterointerfaces are discussed and
characterization techniques and simulation tools are presented.
