Description

Hydrogeneted microcrystalline silicon is a promising material to prepare thin lm solar cells because it does not su er the problems associated to light induced degradation. However, its main application is in a \micromorph" cell, where an amorphous solar cell is conmbined with a microcyrtalline solar cell to broaden the spectra of ligth that can be used (the amorphus cell would absorb the blue part of the spectra while the micromorph cell the red one). In this context, this work explored the changes in the properties of mi- crocrystalline material when varying the depostion parameters, in an attempt to prepare single junction and tandem cells with e ciencies comparable to other research groups results.
