ABSTRACTAmorphous SiGe:H alloy is the key material in achieving high conversion efficiency with tandem-type amorphous silicon alloy solar cells. Status and issues for this key material are discussed, and efforts made to irprove it are reviewed to obtain directions for higher quality a-SiGe:H alloys. An application of the improved alloy to tandem-type solar cell to achieve 9.6% efficiency for the cell size of 100 cm2 is reported.

The pyramid-like textured ZnO film was prepared directly by magnetron sputtering on the self-supporting substrate of ZnO:Al film fabricated by sol-gel. The performance of amorphous silicon solar cell has been studied using the textured ZnO film as a front electrode. It was found that: (1) using the textured ZnO film as an amorphous silicon solar cell front electrode, it can be improved the open voltage, but the fill factor and conversion efficiency was depraved; and (2) inserting a protocrystalline silicon buffer layer between ZnO and p-a-SiC:H, the performance of solar cell was improved obviously. For example, its conversion efficiency increases from 7.3% for the SnO2: FTCO to 7.9% for the ZnO/pc-Si:H TCO.
