摘要
Silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells with hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon oxide (mu c-SiOx:H) emitters are fabricated and studied using the open circuit voltage (V-oc) transient. The built-in electric field (E-in), minority carrier lifetime, hole mobility, and a-Si:H/c-Si heterointerface valance band offset (Delta E-v) of the solar cells can be excavated by the V-oc transient. The rising rate of the V-oc transient curve, which has not been studied in previous research, is found to be dependent on E-in in Sill cells. The measurements of the V-oc transient curves at different excitation intensities are used as a powerful approach for analysis of the Delta E-v difference between SHJ cells with different mu c-SiOx:H emitters. Based on this analysis, it is demonstrated that the origin of the S-shaped J-V characteristics of SHJ cells lies in an inferior E-in and/or severe interface Delta E-v,and the role of Delta E-v is more dominant.
