AbstractWe describe a model for a-Si:H based pin solar cells derived primarily from valence bandtail properties. We show how hole drift-mobility measurements and measurements of the temperature-dependence of the open-circuit voltage VOC can be used to estimate the parameters, and we present VOC(T) measurements. We compared the power density under solar illumination calculated with this model with published results for as-deposited a-Si:H solar cells. The agreement is within 4% for a range of thicknesses, suggesting that the power from as-deposited cells is close to the bandtail limit.

ABSTRACTThe temperature and incident light intensity dependences of open circuit voltage for hetero-and homojunction a-Si:H pin solar cells have been studied. The temperature coefficient of the open circuit voltage decreases from -2.40 to -2.67 mV/°C as the illumination intensity is decreased from 150 to 7mW/cm2 This is consistent with the empirically calculated open circuit voltages. The diode quality factor obtained under dark condition shows high values(l.6–3.0) and strong temperature dependence. On the other hand, the diode quality factor under illumination is less than 1.5 and shows slight temperature dependence. The results appear to be due to the long dielectric relaxation time compared with the carrier lifetime in the i-layer.
