Enhancement of microcrystalline n-i-p solar cell performance via use of pre-covering layers and H-2 treatment

Christophe Ballif, Xavier Niquille, Vanessa Terrazzoni-Daudrix, Franz-Josef Haug

We study the effects of a-Si:H and mu c-Si:H covering layers and an H-2 treatment on the characteristics of mu c-Si:H thin film solar cells deposited in open single chamber very high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition systems. Secondary io ...

Flexible micromorph tandem a-Si/µc-Si solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Thomas Söderström, Vanessa Terrazzoni-Daudrix, Franz-Josef Haug

The deposition of a stack of amorphous (a-Si:H) and microcrystalline (µc- Si:H) tandem thin film silicon solar cells (micromorph) requires at least twice the time used for a single junction a-Si:H cell. However, micromorph devices have a higher potential e ...

FINAL RESULTS OF THE EUROPEAN PROJECT FLEXCELLENCE ROLL TO ROLL TECHNOLOGY FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HIGH EFFICIENCY LOW COST THIN FILM SOLAR CELLS

Christophe Ballif, Thomas Söderström, Vanessa Terrazzoni-Daudrix, Franz-Josef Haug

This paper reports on the final main results of the Flexcellence project. The project was running for 3 years and its goal was the development of equipments and processes for cost-effective roll-to-roll production of high-efficiency flexible thin-film sili ...

Influence of the ZnO buffer layer on the guided mode structure in Si/ZnO/Ag multilayers

Christophe Ballif, Thomas Söderström, Vanessa Terrazzoni-Daudrix, Franz-Josef Haug

We present a study of the optical mode structure in metal-dielectric multilayer structures that represent amorphous silicon thin film solar cells with metallic back contact. Knowledge of the modal structure represents a first step toward describing absorpt ...

Development of micromorph tandem soalr cells on flexible low cost plastic substrates

Christophe Ballif, Martin Python, Thomas Söderström, Xavier Niquille, Vanessa Terrazzoni-Daudrix, Franz-Josef Haug

We report on the development of fully flexible microcrystalline and micromorph tandem solar cells directly on low-cost substrates like poly-ethylen-terephtalate (PET) and poly-ethylen-naphtalate (PEN). The cells are deposited in nip or nip/nip configuratio ...

Asymmetric intermediate reflector for tandem micromorph thin film silicon solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Thomas Söderström, Xavier Niquille, Vanessa Terrazzoni-Daudrix, Franz-Josef Haug

The micromorph solar cell (stack of amorphous and microcrystalline cells) concept is the key for achieving high efficiency stabilized thin film silicon solar cells. We introduce a device structure that allows a better control of the light in-coupling into ...
