Hou, ChengLi (author)Silicon solar cells account for about 95% of the total photovoltaic market share. Poly-Si passivating contacts are promising techniques enabling high performance c-Si solar cells with conversion efficiency over 26.0%. The highly absorptive nature of poly-Si materials makes the transparent passivating contacts attractive, such as poly-Si(O<sub>x<...master thesis 2022

Mandrampazakis, Antonis (author)Carrier-selective passivating contacts (CSPC) are one of the most promising silicon solar cell contact structures. These contacts enable the passivation of the silicon surface as well as a high carrier selectivity. So far excellent results have been demonstrated with the use of poly-Si in stack with SiO2. In this work, we optimize an alternative...master thesis 2019

Ge, H. (author)To improve the conversion efficiency of c-Si solar cells, it is crucial to quench the recombination losses at c-Si/metal interface. Such recombination losses are able to be reduced by using carrier-selective passivating contacts by means of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and poly-crystalline silicon (poly-Si)/tunneling silicon oxide ...master thesis 2017
