The crystalline silicon (c-Si) based photovoltaic (PV) technology is most dominated among
other PV technologies. The world record highest efficiency of 26.7% and 26.1% on n & p …

An interdigitated back‐contacted (IBC) configuration is proposed for submicron copper
indium gallium (di) selenide (CIGS). In a modelling platform, the structure was opto …

With the rapid development of back contact (BC) solar cells, more refined characterization
methods are eagerly required to match the evolving technology. Specifically, methodologies …

Achieving low contact resistivity for the p-contact in silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells is
challenging when classic n-type transparent conductive oxides (TCOs), such as indium tin …

In this work, the use of a novel, large area, mask-less and contact-less patterning technique
is demonstrated for the first time, showing the localized deposition of hydrogenated …

Abstract Large-area (251.96 cm 2) bifacial interdigitated-back-contact (IBC) solar cells are
presented in this work. We employ front floating emitter (FFE) to replace the front surface …

Carefully tailored periodic nanostructures on the light wavelength scale, such as diffraction
gratings, benefit from wave optics for efficiently trap** the weakly absorbing infrared …

We demonstrate a novel method to fabricate passivated interdigitated back contact (IBC)
crystalline silicon solar cells incorporating a maskless, patterned plasma etching step. After …

Abstract Silicon (Si) Heterojunction (HJ) solar cells with interdigitated back contact (IBC) are
considered a promising candidate for next-generation silicon photovoltaics due to the …

Solar cells made from thin layers of polycrystalline silicon (14− 15 μm) are the core
technology for the work in this thesis. They are made by the deposition of amorphous …
