Impact of Dielectric Layers on Liquid-Phase Crystallized Silicon Solar Cells

Liquid-phase crystallization (LPC) of thin silicon layers on glass substrates is a technique to fabricate solar cells with low energy and material consumption and open-circuit voltages comparable to multicrystalline silicon wafer cells. We studied the impact of different passivation layers deposited with plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) on the cell quality. Silicon nitride (SiNx) ...
