“…An important parameter of heterojunctions is the relative distribution of the hetero-bandoffset between valence-and conduction-band. While most authors hypothized a mayor contribution of the band-offset in the valence-band [9,13], also the contrary has been proposed, based on internal photoemission measurements [14]. These authors propose the band-structure of the a-Si/c-Si heterojunction with the mayor contribution of the heterobndoffset in the conduction band, as depicted in Fig.4.…”

Some commercially available solar panels with very high efficiencies for terrestrial photovoltaic applications are based on the amorphous silicon on crystalline silicon material system. This type of heterostructure has a more than 40 years old history. The early development of the technology and the results, obtained in the last years with this type of solar cell are reviewed. In particular it is demonstrated how the physical understanding of the interface properties and bandstructure was important for the development of high efficiency solar cells.
