Modification to the performance of hydrogenated amorphous silicon germanium thin film solar cell

In this paper, we study hydrogenated amorphous silicon germanium thin film solar cells prepared by the radio frequency plasmaenhanced chemical vapor deposition. In the light of the inherent characteristics of hydrogenated amorphous silicon germanium material, the modulation of the germanium/silicon ratio in silicon germanium alloys can separately control open circuit voltage (V0e) and short circuit current density (,/,) of a-SiGe:H thin film solar cells. By the structural design of band gap profiling in the amorphous silicon germanium intrinsic layer, hydrogenated amorphous silicon germanium thin film solar cells, which can be used efficiently as the component cell of multi-junction solar cells, are obtained.
