What is Performance of Microcrystalline Silicon Single and Double Junction Solar Cells of Different Degrees of Crystallinity about?
Hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (mc-Si:H) solar cells show decreasing open-circuit voltage with increasing crystalline volume fraction (F c ). Therefore, most research groups focus on mc-Si:H films produced close to the transition with amorphous silicon. Three cells with varying F c and large-grain fraction, F lg have been studied experimentally and by modeling. The large grained fluorinated mc-Si:H cell appears to be an exception to the above rule, and modeling is used to understand why low and high F c mc-Si:H and mc-Si:F:H are used as the second intrinsic-layer in hypothetical double junction cells. Modeling suggests possible efficiencies of 11.3%, 8.4% and 13%, respectively. Three methods of double junction cell thickness optimization are discussed.
