Abstract

Language:

Hydrogen dilution of the active gas during deposition has been identified as a highly effective method to enhance the quality of amorphous silicon-based materials and solar cells. As hydrogen dilution increases, the material exhibits improved order and transitions from amorphous to microcrystalline at a specific dilution threshold. The optimal material is grown just below this threshold, resulting in a heterogeneous structure comprised of small crystallites embedded within an ordered amorphous matrix. This paper explores the impact of hydrogen dilution on both material and cell properties of amorphous silicon-based alloys, providing insights into their enhanced stability against light-induced degradation. It also highlights unique characteristics of the on-the-edge materials, which are not observed in traditional amorphous or microcrystalline alloys, emphasizing their potential for improved performance in photovoltaic applications.
