In the first part of this paper, we review the developments which led to the present state-of-
the-art in the surface passivation of today's industrially predominant dopant-diffused …

Solar photovoltaics researchers have devoted enough time to improve the performance of
various types of high efficiency crystalline silicon based solar cells including passivated …

We present a detailed analysis of the contact properties with screen printed fire-through (FT)
metal pastes on phosphorus doped (n+) polysilicon (poly-Si) layers. Two different pastes are …

Carrier-selective crystalline silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells have already reached
superior lab-scale efficiencies. Besides judicious wafer thickness design, the optimal choice …

We use temperature-dependent contact resistivity (ρ c) measurements to systematically
assess the dominant electron transport mechanism in a large set of poly-Si passivating …

The formation of hydrogen blisters in the fabrication of tunnelling oxide passivating contact
(TOPCon) solar cells critically degrades passivation. In this study, we investigated the …

New device concepts and new computing principles are needed to balance our ever‐
growing appetite for data and information with the realization of the goals of increased …

In this study, we focused on understanding the roles of a polysilicon (poly-Si) layer in poly-
Si/SiOx/c-Si passivating contacts. Passivating contact formation conditions were varied by …

Passivating the contacts of crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells with a poly-crystalline silicon
(poly-Si) layer on top of a thin silicon oxide (SiO x) is currently sparking interest for reducing …

Advanced passivation contact in high-efficiency silicon solar cells plays an important role for
the sake of minimizing recombination losses. A stack of heavily doped polycrystalline silicon …
