摘要: Abstract The status of the development triple-junction (amorphous silicon/microcrystalline/microcrystalline silicon) test cells fabricated with up-scalable PECVD processes is given. A first draft novel rather flat scattering superstrates an optimized high bandgap amorphous silicon top cell including a carbon-free buffer at p/i interface presented. careful optimization interfaces (including sub-oxide doped layers and buffers) bulk crystallinity middle bottom microcrystalline sub-cells allowed to reach stabilized efficiency 13.5 % (after 1000 h light-soaking, internal measurement). Sub-cells individual developments are discussed their specific integration into full device its for AM1.5G illumination relying on partly LED supported solar simulator characterization
