Rear surface passivation for high efficiency silicon solar cells

In order to adapt laser grooved buried contact (LGBC) solar cells to a thinner silicon substrate than usually used, we have investigated the reduction of charge carrier loss at the rear surface of p-type silicon wafers by plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) of a-Si:H and SiNx films. T...
