This work presents characterization methods and simulation-based loss analyses for passivated emitter and rear (PERC) solar cells. Furthermore, it discusses possible ways of introducing poly-Si on thin inter-facial oxides ...

This thesis examines carrier lifetime instabilities in oxygen-rich boron-doped p-type Czochralski-grown silicon (Cz-Si) with the focus on the permanent deactivation of the boron-oxygen (BO)-related defect center leading ...
