ABSTRACTRecent advances in a-Si solar cells in Japan are reviewed. Improvements in single-junction and multi-junction solar cells are described in three main points, namely, fabrication methods, materials, and cell structures. Recently, a conversion efficiency of 11.7% was obtained for a single-junction structure. For an a-Si/poly-Si stacked structure and an a-Si/(CdS/CdTe) 4 terminal structure, conversion efficiencies of more than 13% were achieved.Then recent advances in the prevention of the light induced degradation of a-Si solar cells is mentioned. Several methods which can improve the a-Si solar cell stability are described.Finally, the present status of the industrialization of a-Si solar cells and some of the latest applications are described together with their propects.

AbstractSuppression of spectral reflectance from the surface of solar cell is necessary for achieving a high energy conversion efficiency. We developed a simple method for forming nanocrystalline layers with ultralow reflectance in a broad range of wavelengths. The method is based on metal assisted etching of the silicon surface. In this work, we prepared Si solar cell structures with embedded nanocrystalline layers. The microstructure of embedded layer depends on the etching conditions. We examined the microstructure of the etched layers by a transmission electron microscope and analysed the experimental images by statistical and Fourier methods. The obtained results provide information on the applied treatment operations and can be used to optimize the solar cell forming procedure.
