Abstract
Hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon ( c-Si:H) intrinsic films and solar cells with n–i–p configuration were prepared by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The influence of n/i and i/p buffer layers on the c-Si:H cell performance was studied in detail. The experimental results demonstrated that the efficiency is much improved when there is a higher crystallinity at n/i interface and an optimized a-Si:H buffer layer at i/p interface. By combining the above methods, the performance of c-Si:H single-junction and a-Si:H/ c-Si:H tandem solar cells has been significantly improved.-
