High-Efficiency Silicon Solar Cells

Research focus

  • Development of high efficiency silicon solar cells along the whole process chain
  • Analysis of loss mechanisms and 3d device simulations of silicon solar cells
  • Characterization of fundamental properties silicon such as Auger recombination
  • In depth characterization of dielectric surface passivation layers
  • Development and characterization of atomic layer deposited (ALD) thin films for PV applications such as
    o Silicon surface passivation
    o Electron / hole transport layers for perovskite solar cells
    o Transparent conductive oxides (TCOs)
