Vargas, C. (author), Coletti, G. (author), Chan, C. (author), Payne, D. (author), Hameiri, Z. (author)In the past few years, carrier-induced degradation (CID) in p-type multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) has been receiving significant attention. Recently, it has been reported that this material is also susceptible to degradation under dark anneal at moderate temperatures.

Zhu, Y. (author), Juhl, M.K. (author), Coletti, G. (author), Hameiri, Z. (author)In photoconductance (PC) based carrier lifetime measurement, artificially high values at low-to-medium injection levels are often observed because of the presence of minority carrier traps in the sample. In this paper, we demonstrate that the traps in n-type Czochralski silicon are in a transient regime under the typical quasi-steady-state...article 2019

Yang, G. (author), Guo, P. (author), Procel, P. (author), Weber, A.W. (author), Isabella, O. (author)The poly-Si carrier-selective passivating contacts (CSPCs) parasitically absorb a substantial amount of light, especially in the form of free carrier absorption. To minimize these losses, we developed CSPCs based on oxygen-alloyed poly-Si (poly-SiOx) and deployed them in c-Si solar cells. Transmission electron microscopy analysis indicates the...article 2018
