Polycrystalline silicon on glass has been prepared by zone melting crystallization of 7-15 μm thick amorphous/nano-crystalline silicon layers with a line shaped electron beam. Silicon was deposited onto glass substrates, covered by SiC/SiC:B-layers, which act as adhesive layer and barrier against impurity diffusion. Si crystallites are grown ranging from several 100μm up to cm in length. A 30 nm thin a-Si:H(n) emitter deposited by PECVD and covered with an 80 nm ZnO layer and an Al grid completes the solar cell structure glass/SiC/poly-Si/a-Si:H/ZnO/Al. In the planar cell without any light trapping and without post annealing, open circuit voltages of 487mV, short circuit currents up to 12.6mA·cm-2 and a fill factor of 63% resulting in 3.5% efficiency have been obtained.
