摘要: Properties of n-i interface are critical for hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H )substrate-type (n–i–p) solar cell as it affects carrier collection, which is visible in the red response . Here, we report a remarkable improvement visible-infrared responses upon hydrogen plasma treatment (HPT)of n/i interface. We demonstrate that initial stage μc-Si:H i layer growth cell. At optimal deposition condition, 18% higher short-circuit current density was obtained than its count part without using HPT
