Book excerpt: Amorphous silicon/crystalline silicon (a-Si/c-Si) heterojunction solar cells offer high efficiency in a simplified and easily scalable process. Despite success in commercialization of these devices, the detailed working principles of them are poorly understood. In particular the effect of interface defects at the a-Si/c-Si heterojunction and the intervening intrinsic layer require explanation. The goal of this research is to understand the effect of interface defects and the intrinsic layer on non-linear effects in current-voltage curves of heterojunction devices by developing a computer model in SENTAURUS. Previously, computer models based in programs such as PC1D, AFORSHET and AMPS-1D have been used but suffer from drawbacks such as not including the gap states and interface modeling as well as not having the option of user-defined recombination statistics. In this work the commercial package SENTAURUS is used, providing a robust and reliable environment in which to develop the model. Key features of the model are the inclusion of dangling bond states via a defect pool model, band gap narrowing of the a-Si, region specific recombination-generation statistics and the change in capture cross section due to charging of trap states. Simulation of devices using this model has demonstrated several processes which guide for device design. Firstly, the number and nature of defects at the a-Si/c- Si interface influence device behavior strongly. More importantly, the thickness of the intrinsic layer is found to be critical. Under ideal operating conditions a p-type region is induced in the intrinsic layer leading to the p-n junction being formed in the c-Si. When the intrinsic layer thickness is increased this is no longer the case, with the p-n junction forming in the a-Si, leading to drastically reduced performance of the device. The development of the recombination models, their incorporation into SENTAURUS, the modeling results and the implications for device design allow improved heterojunction solar cell designs.
Book Synopsis Interface properties of amorphous/crystalline silicon heterojunctions by : Sara Olibet
Download or read book Interface properties of amorphous/crystalline silicon heterojunctions written by Sara Olibet and published by Sudwestdeutscher Verlag Fur Hochschulschriften AG. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar cells based on monocrystalline silicon (c-Si) can potentially achieve high sunlight energy conversion efficiencies and thus could reach grid parity despite the high cost of c-Si. The efficiency of standard c-Si solar cells featuring diffused emitters and aluminum back surface fields (BSF) is limited by interface recombination. Alternatively the growth of intrinsic/doped amorphous silicon (a- Si: H) layer stacks on c-Si effectively passivates the c-Si surface and simultaneously forms the emitter and BSF. Such Si heterojunction (HJ) solar cells can use thin c-Si wafers, benefit from low production cost of a-Si: H layers and enable the highest efficiencies. The focus of this work is the study of interfaces in a-Si: H/c-Si heterostructures, particularly the electronic quality of the a-Si: H/c-Si heterointerface and its effect on the subsequent a- Si: H/c-Si HJ solar cell fabrication. Interface recombination modeling by considering the amphoteric nature of Si dangling bonds is in excellent agreement with measurements, and provides insight into the microscopic passivation mechan

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world of today must face up to two contradictory energy problems: on the one hand, there is the sharply growing consumer demand in countries such as China and India. On the other hand, natural resources are dwindling. Moreover, many of those countries which still possess substantial gas and oil supplies are politically unstable. As a result, renewable natural energy sources have received great attention. Among these, solar-cell technology is one of the most promising candidates. However, there still remains the problem of the manufacturing costs of such cells. Many attempts have been made to reduce the production costs of conventional solar cells (manufactured from monocrystalline silicon using diffusion methods) by instead using cheaper grades of silicon, and simpler pn-junction fabrication. That is the hero of this book; the heterojunction solar cell.

Book Synopsis Characterization of Amorphous-crystalline Silicon Heterojunctions Using Constant Photocurrent Method by : Barzin Bahardoust
Download or read book Characterization of Amorphous-crystalline Silicon Heterojunctions Using Constant Photocurrent Method written by Barzin Bahardoust and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amorphous-crystalline silicon (a-Si:H/c-Si) heterojunctions have recently drawn much attention owing to their low-temperature fabrication and high-efficiency photovoltaics. a-Si:H/c-Si heterojunctions were studied for the first time using the constant photocurrent method (CPM). The doping concentration in the p-type a-Si:H was varied. CPM derived absorption for energies greater than 1.4 eV is observed to increase with decreasing dopant concentration in the p- layer. This is attributed to a decrease in the density of defect states in the amorphous layer and the interface. A model is proposed wherein the amorphous layer and the interface constitute one absorbing layer while the crystalline substrate forms the other absorbing layer. A combined defect density in the amorphous layer and interface of 2.8x1018 cm-3 eV-1 at 0.4 eV from the valence band edge was measured for our best device. By comparing the combined defect density with that of a single amorphous layer the defect density at the interface is inferred to be 5x1012 cm -2.

Download or read book Simulation of the Growth Dynamics of Amorphous and Microcrystalline Silicon written by and published by . This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The qualitative description of the major microstructure characteristics of microcrystalline silicon is achieved through a three-dimensional discrete dynamical growth model. The model is based on three fundamental processes that determine surface morphology: (1) random deposition of particles, (2) local relaxation and (3) desorption. In this model, the incoming particle reaching the growing surface takes on a state variable representing a particular way of being incorporated into the material. The state variable is attributed according to a simple selection rule that is characteristic of the model. This model reproduces most of the features of the complex microstructure of microcrystalline silicon: transition from amorphous to crystalline phase, conical shape of the crystalline domains, crystalline fraction evolution with respect to the layer thickness and roughness evolution versus layer thickness.
