Thin film polycrystalline silicon solar cells on mullite ceramics
چکیده انگلیسی

In this work, we present the structural quality of polycrystalline silicon films formed by high-temperature chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on mullite ceramics coated with spin-on flowable oxides (FOx) serving as intermediate layers (ILs). The average grain size and the size distribution were investigated by optical microscopy. It is found that more than 65% of the surface of polysilicon films grown on boron-doped FOx is covered by large grains of 5–10 μm. The intra-grain and inner-grain defects as well as the grain orientation were analyzed with the electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) technique. Twin-type defects such as Σ3 and Σ9 are frequently present in these silicon layers, which are slightly (1 1 0) preferentially oriented. Finally, we present the photovoltaic data on test solar cells made on these CVD polysilicon films. An efficiency of about 3.3% is reported. The limiting factors, as well as possible improvements, are discussed.
