摘要
A photovoltaic device with hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and silicon-germanium (a-SiGe:H) in its intrinsic layer deposited using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) was characterized, and the material properties of the intrinsic layer was investigated. An energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and atomic force microscope (AFM) were utilized to study the material composition, crystallinity and surface roughness layers in the intrinsic region, respectively. The surface was amorphous and smooth in a small scan area. We also measured the J-V characteristic of the photovoltaic cell using a solar simulator under standard AM 1.5G conditions, and the efficiency was more than 1%. The results demonstrated the feasibility of the photovoltaic cell.
