Optimization of Poly-Si/SiOx Passivated Contacts for Crystalline Silicon Bottom Cells Applications by Julci Ditsougou, Thibaut Desrues, Anne Kaminski, Sébastien Dubois

“…Moreover, these thicker poly-Si layers benefit more from hydrogenation steps, enabling i-Voc of around 720 mV and carrier lifetimes of up to 5 ms on cell precursors. Finally, while increasing the thickness leads to current limitation under AM1.5G (1 Sun) illumination, this limitation is less pronounced under IR illumination. …”
