Popis: |
We fabricated five different types of a-SiGe∶H and nc-Si∶H based multi-junction solar cell structures using modified Very High Frequency (MVHF) technology. After optimization, all five structures reached similar initial cell performance, i.e. ∼12% small active-area (0.25 cm2) efficiency and 10.6–10.8% large aperture-area (≥ 400 cm2) efficiency after encapsulation. However, they showed quite different light soaking stability behavior, which can be attributed to the degradation of component cells. We conducted a comparative study between the MVHF deposited solar cells with those deposited by RF. Materials studies were also conducted to understand the mechanism responsible for better stability for the MVHF deposited a-SiGe∶H solar cells. The best stable efficiency achieved for the large-area encapsulated cells is approaching 10% for both a-SiGe∶H and nc-Si∶H based multi-junction cells. |
