The successful realization of carrier-selective contacts is a crucial prerequisite to
approaching the theoretical efficiency limit of silicon solar cells. The herein proposed carrier …

Carrier-selective contacts (ie, minority carrier mirrors) are one of the last remaining obstacles
to approaching the theoretical efficiency limit of silicon solar cells. In the 1980s, it was …

The applicability of different high (low) work function contact materials for the formation of
alternative passivating and hole (electron) selective contacts is currently re-explored for …

In this work passivated rear contacts are used to replace point contact passivation schemes
for high-efficiency n-type crystalline silicon solar cells. Our structure is based on an ultra-thin …

Dopant‐free, carrier‐selective contacts (CSCs) on high efficiency silicon solar cells combine
ease of deposition with potential optical benefits. Electron‐selective titanium dioxide (TiO2) …

Of all the materials available to create carrier-selective passivating contacts for silicon solar
cells, those based on thin films of doped silicon have permitted to achieve the highest levels …

In the first part of this paper, we review the developments which led to the present state-of-
the-art in the surface passivation of today's industrially predominant dopant-diffused …

Carrier-selective contacts based on silicon films deposited onto a thin SiO x layer combine
high performance with a degree of compatibility with industrial solar cell metallization steps …

To further increase the conversion efficiency of crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells, it is vital to
reduce the recombination losses associated with the contacts. Therefore, a contact structure …

Solar cells rely on the efficient generation of electrons and holes and the subsequent
collection of these photoexcited charge carriers at spatially separated electrodes. High wafer …
