Localisation of front side passivating contacts for direct metallisation of high-efficiency c-Si solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Sylvain Nicolay, Xavier Niquille, Franz-Josef Haug, Frank Meyer, Andrea Ingenito

In this work, we present the development of passivating contacts based on thin interfacial oxide/doped polysilicon for two side contacted c-Si solar cells. In the first part, we discuss our layer optimization towards direct metallisation, using firing thro ...

Optimization of front SiNx/ITO stacks for high-efficiency two-side contacted c-Si solar cells with co-annealed front and rear passivating contacts

Christophe Ballif, Sylvain Nicolay, Xavier Niquille, Franz-Josef Haug, Frank Meyer, Andrea Ingenito

In this contribution, we present an electron selective passivating contact metallised with a low temperature process to target front side applications in crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells. In addition to an interfacial silicon oxide (SiOx) and an in-s ...

Contributions to the contact resistivity in fired tunnel-oxide passivating contacts for crystalline silicon solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Frank Meyer, Andrea Ingenito, Sofia Libraro

We investigate the contact resistivity of p-type passivating contacts for silicon solar cells. Our contact structures are compatible with firing, a rapid annealing process similar to the one used for sintering of the screen-printed metallisation in solar c ...

Dimensional stability analysis of a UV printed polymer microstructure for a novel glazing system

Yves Leterrier, Andreas Schueler, André Gabriel Kostro, Frank Meyer, Jing Gong

The dimensional stability of a UV printed polymer microstructure for a novel glazing system for seasonal regulation and daylighting based on a periodic array of parabolic micro-mirrors is investigated. The objectives of the work are: i) to analyze the dime ...

Molecular beam epitaxy of InAs nanowires in SiO2 nanotube templates: challenges and prospects for integration of III-Vs on Si

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Jean-Baptiste Leran, Federico Matteini, Frank Meyer, Ruben Ricca, Jelena Vukajlovic Plestina, Heidi Andrea Potts, Vladimir Dubrovskii

Guided growth of semiconductor nanowires in nanotube templates has been considered as a potential platform for reproducible integration of III-Vs on silicon or other mismatched substrates. Herein, we report on the challenges and prospects of molecular beam ...
