Double-sided (bifacial) heterojunction silicon solar cells have been fabricated by Hot-Wire CVD on both p- and n-type crystalline silicon substrates. In these devices, doped microcrystalline silicon layers are combined ...

In this work we study aluminium laser-fired contacts for intrinsic amorphous silicon layers deposited by Hot-Wire CVD. This structure could be used as an alternative low temperature back contact for rear passivated ...

Dielectric/metal/dielectric structures based on vanadium pentoxide with a thin silver interlayer have been optimized to replace traditional transparent electrodes. As would be expected, there is a tradeoff in the metal ...

The growing interest in using thinner wafers (< 200 µm) requires the development of low temperature passivation strategies for the back contact of heterojunction solar cells. In this work, we investigate low temperature ...

Structural and optical characterization of copper phthalocyanine thin film thermally deposited at different substrate temperatures was the aim of this work. The morphology of the films shows strong dependence on temperature, ...

Hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon thin-films were obtained by catalytic chemical vapour deposition at low substrate temperatures (150°C) and high deposition rates (10 Å/s). These films, with crystalline fractions over ...

Hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon films obtained at low temperature (150–280°C) by hot wire chemical vapour deposition at two different process pressures were measured by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) ...
