“…An interesting relative higher photo current than that for inorganic reference sample is found in the region of short wavelength from λ = 410 to 354 nm associated to the frontal interface of the structures. It suggests better electronic properties of organic-inorganic frontal interfaces due to lower surface back diffusion coefficient of carriers generated close to this interface or/and lower surface recombination rate and probably more stable chemical interface [28]. Some confirmation on quality of undoped absorber material can be obtained from subgap for hν < E opt photocurrent.…”

“…In Figure 7, such hypothetical electron energetic diagrams in thermal equilibrium for H1, H2, and H3 structures are represented, more details about them can be found in Ref. [28]. In H1, energetic diagram (Figure 7a) shows that the light absorption occurs in the organic bulk heterojunction formed by P3HT and PCBM.…”

“…Despite the large number of developed organic materials, there are a few materials that have been usefully applied in promising optoelectronic devices, i.e., PEDOT:PSS is a very attractive conductive polymer semiconductor for electronic and photovoltaic applications (not only for organic electronics) due to its optical transparency, high conductivity, and processing techniques. The use of PEDOT:PSS in hybrid organic-inorganic solar cells and devices has attracted the attention in recent years specially as a candidate for substitution of p-type a-SiC:H:B layer in silicon-based photovoltaic devices [28][29][30]. The Si/PEDOT interface has shown interesting properties such as effective formation of blocking barrier for electrons, acting similar to an "ideal" barrier [29].…”

“…It is well known, that device performance in shortwave range depends critically on frontal interface (usually it is p-i interface). Improved photocarrier collection for shortwave have been reported for interfaces with organic p-layer [28,29]. On the other hand, organic semiconductor with narrow band gap have not sufficiently developed yet, therefore, long wave absorption can be improved by incorporation of SiGe:H films.…”

“…Silicon remains a good candidate for hybrid devices due to favorable and well-known electronic properties. Different ways have been reported to combine silicon with polymers in hybrid solar cell: hybrid crystalline silicon-PEDOT:PSS solar cell [29], nanowire-Si/polymer solar cells [48], and a-Si:H/PEDOT:PSS pin solar cell [28]. Figure 6 shows examples of some ideas for application of organic and inorganic materials in hybrid solar cells.…”

The concept for inorganic-organic device is an attractive technology to develop devices with better characteristics and functionality due to the complementary advantages of inorganic and organic materials. This chapter provides an overview of the principal requirements for organic and inorganic semiconductor properties and their fabrication processes and focus on the compatibility between low temperature plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and polymer organic materials deposition. The concept for inorganic-organic device was validated with the fabrication of three hybrid thin film photovoltaic structures, based on hydrogenated silicon (Si:H), organic poly(3-hexythiophene): methano-fullerenephenyl-C61-butyric-acid-methyl-ester (P3HT:PCBM), and poly(3,4 ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) films. Optoelectronic characteristics, performance characteristics, and interfaces of the different configurations aspects are discussed. Hybrid ITO/PEDOT:PSS/(i)Si:H/(n)Si:H structure results in a remarkably high short circuit current density as large as 17.74 mA/cm 2 , which is higher than the values in organic or inorganic reference samples. Although some hybrid structures demonstrated substantial improvement of performance, other hybrid structures showed poor performance, further R&D efforts seem to be promising, and should be focused on deeper study of organic materials and related interface properties.

Organic-silicon hybrid solar cells (organic/Si HSCs) have drawn much attention in the development of modern low-cost photovoltaic solar cells. Due to simpler and less expensive fabrication processes at room temperature, the HSCs have many superiorities over conventional silicon solar cells, positioning the HSCs be a striking research topic. Recently, a significant amount of research has been done to improve the yield and efficiency of hybrid solar cells. The performance enhancement of hybrid solar cells highly depends on a combination of the electrical, optical, materials and structural aspects. This review is dedicated to the recent advances in the mechanism, fabrication processes and light management in organic/Si HSCs, highlighting the important device structures, the surface texturing, the transparent electrodes as well as the integration of metallic nanostructures to improve the performances of hybrid solar cells.
