Characterisation and optimization of next-generation silicon solar cell concepts rely on an
accurate knowledge of intrinsic charge carrier recombination in crystalline silicon. Reports of …

In this paper, we present new insight in the degradation and subsequent recovery of charge
carrier lifetime upon light soaking at 75 C observed in float-zone silicon wafers. Variations of …

Gallium doped silicon is an industrially viable alternative to boron doped silicon for
photovoltaics, and is assumed to be immune from light-induced degradation. We have …

Effective surface passivation is pivotal for achieving high performance in crystalline silicon (c-
Si) solar cells. However, many passivation techniques in solar cells involve high …

Understanding surface passivation arising from aluminium oxide (Al 2 O 3) films is of
significant relevance for silicon-based solar cells and devices that require negligible surface …

In current silicon solar cell technologies, hydrogen is incorporated into the solar cell during
the fast-firing process. It passivates defects at the surface and in the bulk, but also leads to …

In this article, the impact of different hydrogen configurations and their evolution on the
extent and kinetics of light-and elevated-temperature-induced degradation (LeTID) is …

In this study, it is observed that boron-doped float-zone silicon coated with hydrogenated
silicon nitride shows strong instabilities in effective minority carrier lifetime after a fast firing …
