Nanostructured three-dimensional thin film silicon solar cells with very high efficiency potential
Original language description
We report on the experimental realization of amorphous/microcrystalline silicon tandem solar cells (Micromorph) based on our 3-dimensional design. An enhancement is reached in the short-circuit current by 40%, with an excellent open-circuit voltage of 1.41V and a fill factor of 72%. We have used nano- or micro-holes dry etched into the ZnO front contact layer.Monte Carlo optical modeling shows that stable efficiencies of amorphous silicon p-i-n solar cells in over 12% range are possible and for Micromorph cells over 15% with the thickness of amorphous Si below 200 nm and of microcrystalline Si around 500 nm.
