Book excerpt: MIS and SIS structured solar cells are receiving much attention in the photovoltaic community. Seemingly, these cells could be a viable alternative to thermally diffused p-n junctions for use on thin-film polycrystalline silicon substrates. This review describes MIS/SIS structured solar cells and the possible advantages of these structures for use with thin-film polycrystalline silicon. The results of efficiency calculations are presented. Also addressed are lifetime stability and fabrication techniques amenable to large scale production. Finally, the relative advantages and disadvantages of these cells and the results obtained are presented.

Book excerpt: Silicon solar cells based on the MIS (metal-insulator-semiconductor) or SIS (semiconductor-insulator-semiconductor) structure have received much attention, and this paper reviews the recent progress. To be competitive with pn junction technology in the near term, these cells must be much cheaper or have a higher efficiency in a production environment. Apparently, the minority carrier MIS cells have the greatest potential for large-scale applications. The data currently indicate that all types of MIS/SIS cells have some inherent instability problems.

Book excerpt: The Photovoltaic Advanced Silicon (PVAS) Branch at the Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI) has initiated a comparative study to assess the potential of MIS-type solar cells for low-cost terrestrial photovoltaic systems in terms of performance, stability, and cost-effectiveness. Several types of MIS and SIS solar cells are included in the matrix study currently underway. This approach compares the results of MIS and p/n junction solar cells on essentially identical thin-film polycrystalline silicon materials. All cell measurements and characterizations are performed using uniform testing procedures developed in the Photovoltaic Measurements and Evaluation (PV M and E) Laboratory at SERI. Some preliminary data on the different cell structures on thin-film epitaxial silicon on metallurgical-grade substrates are presented here.

This book was released on 1980 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first task of this project involves electron-beam deposition of thin silicon films on low cost substrates. The goal is to obtain 20 .mu.m thick films having 20 .mu.m diameter crystallites which may be recrystallized to> 40 .mu.m. Material characterization and device studies are to be included in efforts to reach a 6% conversion efficiency. The second task deals with MIS solar cell fabrication on various types of silicon including poly-Si, ribbon-Si, silicon on ceramic, and thin film silicon. Conduction mechanism studies, optimum engineering design, and modification of the fabrication process are to be used to achieve 13% efficiency on Xtal-Si and 11% efficiency on poly-Si. The third task involves more detailed test procedures and includes spectral response, interface and grain boundary effects, computer analysis, materials studies, and grain boundary passivation. Progress is detailed. (WHK).

This book was released on 2016-07-18 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amorphous silicon solar cell technology has evolved considerably since the first amorphous silicon solar cells were made at RCA Laboratories in 1974. Scien tists working in a number of laboratories worldwide have developed improved alloys based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon and microcrystalline silicon. Other scientists have developed new methods for growing these thin films while yet others have developed new photovoltaic (PV) device structures with im proved conversion efficiencies. In the last two years, several companies have constructed multi-megawatt manufacturing plants that can produce large-area, multijunction amorphous silicon PV modules. A growing number of people be lieve that thin-film photovoltaics will be integrated into buildings on a large scale in the next few decades and will be able to make a major contribution to the world's energy needs. In this book, Ruud E. I. Schropp and Miro Zeman provide an authoritative overview of the current status of thin film solar cells based on amorphous and microcrystalline silicon. They review the significant developments that have occurred during the evolution of the technology and also discuss the most im portant recent innovations in the deposition of the materials, the understanding of the physics, and the fabrication and modeling of the devices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efforts in the thin e-beam deposited Si area have centered on Si on Si deposition, materials analysis, and some electrical characterization. A highly crystalline Si thin film has been observed with a (111) orientation on a (111) substrate. An epitaxial type of growth is observed with the film duplicating the features of the substrate. MIS cells have been fabricated on RTR ribbon, Hamco Si, Wacker poly-Si, Silicon and Ceramic, and IBM ribbon. Efficiency values range from 11% to 5% depending on choice of substrate. Differences in interface state density and in diffusion length appear to be the main contributors to this range in efficiency values. Spectral response, diffusion length, and interface state densities are reported. MIS cells were also fabricated using Hf, Al, and Pd as Schottky metals. All gave results far inferior to the Cr which is not surprising in such a short study. The sputtered Hf gave a low V/sub oc/ even though phi/sub m/ is very low for Hf. Sputtering serves to increase interface state density to reduce V/sub oc/. Further studies using Auger and ESCA show the presence of C, Ag, F, and Al contaminants in Cr films. The interfacial oxide composition can be controlled by using various oxide growth techniques. Reliability studies indicate an initial degradation in V/sub oc/ for the Cr-MIS cells but quite stable performance thereafter.
