摘要: To further increase the conversion efficiency of crystalline silicon solar cells it is vital to reduce recombination losses between photoactive part cell and metal contacts. This ideally achieved by fabricating contacts which passivate defects at surface while being simultaneously selective for only a single type charge carrier, i.e. either electrons or holes. Despite extensive research effort aimed realizing such contacts, no clear overview fundamental physics passivating has appeared yet. Therefore, we present an overview, introduce classification discuss their design guidelines future prospects.
