With a global market share of about 90%, crystalline silicon is by far the most important
photovoltaic technology today. This article reviews the dynamic field of crystalline silicon …

Potential-induced degradation (PID) has received considerable attention in recent years due
to its detrimental impact on photovoltaic (PV) module performance under field conditions …

Silicon wafer solar cells continue to be the leading photovoltaic technology, and in many
places are now providing a substantial portion of electricity generation. Further adoption of …

(Oxy) nitride materials, consisting mainly of transition metal and ionic‐covalent (oxy) nitrides,
show a vast number of interesting physical and chemical properties due to their substantial …

Plasma-deposited silicon nitride (a-SiNx: H, or briefly, SiNx) is currently the state-of-the-art
antireflection coating for silicon wafer solar cells. It simultaneously reduces front-side optical …

We measure surface recombination velocities (SRVs) below 10 cm/s on p‐type crystalline
silicon wafers passivated by atomic–layer–deposited (ALD) aluminium oxide (Al2O3) films of …

The understanding and development of advanced hydrogenation processes for silicon solar
cells are presented. Hydrogen passivation is incorporated into virtually all silicon solar cells …

Through an advanced hydrogenation process that involves controlling and manipulating the
hydrogen charge state, substantial increases in the bulk minority carrier lifetime are …

The Sun is the major source of energy on Earth and has been producing energy for billions
of years. Although the Sun is about 90 million miles away from us, it takes only about 8.5 …

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) polymerization uses vapor phase monomeric reactants to
synthesize organic thin films directly on substrates. These thin films are desirable as …
