摘要：
In this study, we report an appreciably increased efficiency from 6% up to 9.1% of hydrogenated amorphous silicon germanium (a-SiGe:H) thin film solar cells by using a combination of different p-doped window layers, such as boron doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon (p-a-Si:H), amorphous silicon oxide (p-a-SiOx:H), microcrystalline silicon (p-mu c-Si:H), and microcrystalline silicon oxide (p-mu c-SiOx:H). Optoelectronic properties and the role of these p-layers in the enhancement of a-SiGe:H cell efficiency were also examined and discussed. An improvement of 1.62 mA/cm(2) in the short-circuit current density (J(sc)) is attributed to the higher band gap of p-type silicon oxide layers. In addition, an increase in open-circuit voltage (V-oc) by 150 mV and fill factor (FF) by 6.93% is ascribed to significantly improved front TCO/p-layer interface contact. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
