摘要
The objective of this paper is to get more insight into the physics of microcrystalline silicon based solar cell by studying electric field profiles, spectral responses and current-voltage characteristics. Based on a comparison with a-Si:H p-i-n and c-Si p-n diodes, we concluded that mu c-Si:H p-i-n devices are not field-controlled despite the presence of a high electric field in the i-layer.
