Since its invention in the 1950s, semiconductor solar cell technology has evolved in great
leaps and bounds. Solar power is now being considered as a serious leading contender for …

Copper electroplating is investigated and compared with common silver printing techniques
for the front metallization of silicon heterojunction solar cells. We achieve smaller feature …

In this paper we present a one-dimensional numerical simulation study concerning the
electrical properties of the TCO/a-Si: H (p)/a-Si: H (i)/c-Si (n) hole contact in …

In this paper we address the fundamental challenge of balancing the trade-off between the
optical and electrical properties of the front side transparent conductive oxide (TCO) in …

Besides passivation of the c-Si absorber, provided mainly by the undoped buffer layer, the
net doping of the silicon thin films plays a major role in the performance of silicon-based …

Tungsten doped indium oxide (IWO) film was deposited by reactive plasma deposition
technology for a-Si: H/c-Si heterojunction (SHJ) solar cell. The average transmittance and …

Solar energy is a clean renewable energy resource that can be converted to electricity with
photovoltaic (PV) technology without environmental damage. Solar energy can be …

A simple and straightforward approach to lower the influence of the ohmic and non-
generation losses caused by the lateral carrier transport within the front side TCO on the …

Silicon heterojunction solar cells are crystalline silicon-based devices in which thin
amorphous silicon layers deposited on the wafer surfaces serve as passivated, carrier …

We briefly review the basic concepts of junction capacitance and the peculiarities related to
amorphous semiconductors, paying tribute to Cohen and to his pioneering work. We extend …
