摘要
The ability to incorporate a low concentration of defects at different near-surface or interface locations in a silicon heterojunction solar cell is reported here using argon ion implantation. Optical properties of the irradiated layers are addressed using spectroscopic ellipsometry while non-radiative recombinations through defects are addressed using photoconductance and photoluminescence measurements. Low energy ion irradiation at 1 key under fluences up to 7 x 10(13) cm(-2) induces no cell degradation while higher ion energies associated to larger penetration depths close to the amorphous/crystalline interface show increased degradation with ion fluence. This behavior allows to estimate some interface defect concentration threshold for cell degradation. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
