Popis: The dynamics of the open-circuit voltage (V OC ) of polymorphous silicon (pm-Si:H) solar cells deposited at high and low rates (8 and 1.5 A/s, HR and LR) and containing lightly or heavily doped p-layers (LD or HD) are compared through in situ, variable intensity measurements during light-soaking (LS). The V OC 's of the LR cells show an increase with LS, regardless of doping level, whereas the HR cells show decreasing V OC 's. This result is in contrast to the changes predicted by the dark diode characteristics, which predict increasing Voc for all the devices. The device measurements are compared to the analogous measurements on co-deposited coplanar p-i layer stacks to determine whether the V oc dynamics can be linked to changes in the p-layer doping efficiency during LS. The changes to the macroscopic electrical behaviour of the cell under varying light conditions are modelled using a simple, three parameter function, and are compared to results from a detailed, numerical modelling tool, AFORS-HET.
