Passivating Contacts for Silicon Solar Cells — A Zinc Oxide Breakthrough?

In the field of silicon solar cells, the search for more efficient and cost-effective technologies never ceases. One of the most exciting developments of the past decade has been the rise of so-called passivating contacts, with the current industry leader being TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) cells. I remember I was a PhD student when … Read more

ALD of high-quality hydrogen-doped indium oxide
– a mini-review

I recently successfully defended my PhD thesis, entitled “Atomic Layer Deposition of Metal Oxide Thin Films for Si Heterojunction Solar Cells”. As the title suggests, I have worked on ALD of various metal oxides for the application in Si heterojunction solar cells. It was however one material in particular, hydrogen-doped indium oxide In2O3:H, that dominated … Read more
