Abstract:Compared to current c-Si solar cell technologies, fired passivating contacts (FPCs) can reduce the thermal budget of the solar cell fabrication process. In this study, a simplified process flow for the fabrication of these contacts is investigated along with the use of two hole transport materials: p-type nanocrystalline silicon ((p) nc-Si:H) and nanocrystalline silicon oxide ((p) nc-SiO x :H). More specifically, the passivation properties provided by the FPC stack are assessed at different stages of the manuf… Show more
