摘要
New approaches are being explored towards a successful thin film ZnO/Si heterojunction solar cell. The current approach involves Al-doped ZnO and microcrystalline Si grown by metal-induced growth. Nanoparticles added to the ZnO layer may introduce plasmonic effects and light scattering. Current work using an Al-ZnO/Buffer/Bulk-Si device has achieved a J(SC) of 28.26 mA/cm(2), a V-OC of 360 mV, and an efficiency of 5.91%. Fabricated Schottky photodiode devices using MIG-Si have achieved a J(SC) of around 5.4 mA/cm(2) and V-OC of 245 mV. According to simulations, an Al-ZnO/MIG-Si device can reach a J(SC) of 18.54 mA/cm(2), a V-OC of 6 7 0 mV, and an efficiency of 10.359% without plasmonic effects.
