ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1109/PVSC.2009.5411644 | Abstract: | Following our previous study on the material-quality limiting factors of evaporated solid-phase crystallized (SPC) poly-Si thin films fabricated on planar glass for photovoltaic applications, we extend our study to investigate the impurity levels, optical properties, transport properties, and device performance of so-called "EVA" (EVAporated Si) solar cells. These potentially cost-effective cells are systematically characterized with electron microscopy-based techniques, external quantum efficiency, and standard current-voltage measurements. We conclude that 5% efficient cells are now attainable, and much room remains for further improving device performance. We are confident that 10%-efficient EVA solar cells will be realized in the future, with proper metallization schemes, good light trapping, and improved poly-Si film quality. ©2009 IEEE. | Source Title: | Conference Record of the IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/69585 | ISBN: | 9781424429509 | ISSN: | 01608371 | DOI: | 10.1109/PVSC.2009.5411644 |
