Black silicon (BSi) represents a very active research area in renewable energy materials.
The rise of BSi as a focus of study for its fundamental properties and potentially lucrative …

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

We demonstrate effective passivation of a variety of crystalline silicon (c-Si) surfaces by a
thin layer of thermal atomic layer deposited (ALD) titanium oxide (TiO 2). Surface …

Abstract The Si–SiO 2 interface has and will continue to play a major role in the
development of silicon photovoltaic devices. This work presents a detailed examination of …

There has been a recent rapid expansion of the range of applications of low-temperature
plasma processing in Si-based photovoltaic (PV) technologies. The desire to produce Si …

The book addresses the problem of passivation at the surface of crystalline silicon solar
cells. More specifically, it reports on a high-throughput, industrially compatible deposition …

Passivation of p+-doped silicon is demonstrated by using water (H 2 O)-based thermal
atomic layer-deposited titanium oxide (TiO x) films. Emitter saturation current density (J 0 e) …

We examine the surface passivation properties of Al 2 O 3 deposited on boron-doped
planar⟨ 100⟩ crystalline silicon surfaces as a function of the boron concentration. Both …

We report on the understanding and optimization of ion-implanted boron emitters in
combination with screen-printed contacts to produce very low recombination current density …

In this work, single‐side aluminum oxide (Al2O3) deposition enabled by a new tube‐type
industrial plasma‐assisted atomic layer deposition (PEALD) technique is presented to meet …
