In the last 7 years, the? rst edition of “Lock-in Thermography” has established as a reference
book for all users of this technique for investigating electronic devices, especially solar cells …

With the greater availability and effectively falling prices of thermocameras, in the last years
thermography has developed from a rarely used technique towards an increasingly popular …

In this paper we address the fundamental challenge of balancing the trade-off between the
optical and electrical properties of the front side transparent conductive oxide (TCO) in …

By evaluating four lock-in thermography images of a solar cell taken at four different biases
and an independently measured series resistance image, images of all local two-diode …

Multicrystalline (mc) n-type silicon has proven to be a suitable substrate for the fabrication of
highly efficient mc-Si solar cells. In this paper, we elaborate the impact of base material …

The aim of this paper is to analyze the limiting role of crucible and coating impurities on
material quality of multicrystalline silicon. Both solid body diffusion and diffusion into the …

Effective passivating and carrier-selective contacts are based on the deposition of thin-film
systems on the silicon wafer which results in a spatial decoupling of carrier generation and …

The interest in cast mono silicon is increasing due to its lower energy consumption and
resulting smaller carbon footprint, lower oxygen content and resulting less oxygen-related …

The two-diode model is widespread for interpreting dark and illuminated current–voltage
characteristics of solar cells, though it does not hold correctly for high current densities due …

Photoluminescence images of silicon wafers with non-uniform lifetime distribution are often
smeared by lateral carrier diffusion. We propose a simple method to de-smear the …
