Abstract
This paper investigates the effects of the diphasic structure on the o ptoelectronic properties of hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (mu c-Si:H) films prepared in a triode three-chamber plasma-enhanced chemi cal vapor deposition (PECVD) system. The influences of boron-compensat ion doping on the dark-and photo-conductivity of mu c-Si:H films are a lso described. A tandem solar cell with an entirely mu c-Si:H p-i-n bo ttom cell and an a-Si:H top cell has been prepared with an initial con version efficiency of 8.91% (0.126 cm(2), AM1.5, 100 mW/cm(2)).
