Advanced textured monocrystalline silicon substrates with high optical scattering yields and low electrical recombination losses for supporting crack‐free nano‐ to poly‐crystalline film growth

Abstract Crystalline silicon tandem devices with perovskites, CIGS, and nanocrystalline silicon, as well as the TOPCon design, are incompatible with the conventional pyramidal surface texture of silicon. This is a result of crack formation in nano to polycrystalline growth on large sharp surface fea...
