Thin Film Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells

description: 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 2377-2381
description: Due to incompatibility of evaporated Si films with textured glass substrates, light-trapping is
implemented by means of etch-back texturing of Si films themselves. However, because of necessity of removing the
topmost sacrificial Si layer the cell back-surface-field (BSF) cannot be formed by original single film deposition but
has to be introduced after Si texturing. Therefore, in this study, deposition and diffusion as two main different process
approaches of forming BSF are suggested and discussed. In deposition method, heavily boron doped amorphous
silicon is deposited on crystallized absorber layer and then whole cell is crystallized again. Several clean approaches
before BSF deposition are compared. In diffusion method, diffusion of boron dopant from a spin-on source is
performed on crystallized absorber layer. Different processing procedures, doping concentration, process temperature
and duration time are investigated. All above methods demonstrate different possible ways of forming BSF.
Especially, diffused BSF with 2-step thermal treatment presents the competitive and promising results with 1Sun-Voc
over 470mV, which is comparable to standard single deposited cell with 1Sun-Voc at 460mV. It is indicated that with
this 2-step diffused BSF, the etch-back texturing can be effectively applied onto the e-beam evaporated poly-Si thin
film cells.

Thin Film Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells

description: 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 2396-2399
description: In polycrystalline thin film solar cells on glass with an electron beam crystallized absorber (ERA) of 10 μm thickness
and an amorphous silicon hetero-emitter an open circuit voltage of 545 mV [1] has been achieved which proves the
high electronic quality of the absorber material. However, efficiencies are currently at moderate 4.7%, mainly due to
low short circuit currents. In this work a simulation model to describe the amorphous /crystalline silicon
heterostructure is developed and validated by a comparison of the simulation with measured IQE data as well as IVcharacteristics.
On the basis of the model a study on the loss mechanisms responsible for the low jsc is carried out. As
a result, insufficient charge carrier diffusion length, a high reflection at the front surface and incomplete absorption of
the IR-light are the main reasons for a low jSC. Furthermore, the cell's efficiency potential is evaluated for a set of
parameters that are realistically achievable in the near future: an improved absorber quality (diffusion length >
absorber thickness), an improved backside passivation, an optimized front reflection and a back contact concept. This
would lead to a jsc increase by more than a factor of two and a conversion efficiency of above 11%.
Comparison-based Image Quality Assessment for Parameter Selection

description: Image quality assessment (IQA) is traditionally classified into full-reference (FR) IQA and no-reference (NR) IQA according to whether the original image is required. Although NR-IQA is widely used in practical applications, room for improvement still remains because of the lack of the reference image. Inspired by the fact that in many applications, such as parameter selection, a series of distorted images are available, the authors propose a novel comparison-based image quality assessment (C-IQA) method. The new comparison-based framework parallels FR-IQA by requiring two input images, and resembles NR-IQA by not using the original image. As a result, the new comparison-based approach has more application scenarios than FR-IQA does, and takes greater advantage of the accessible information than the traditional single-input NR-IQA does. Further, C-IQA is compared with other state-of-the-art NR-IQA methods on two widely used IQA databases. Experimental results show that C-IQA outperforms the other NR-IQA methods for parameter selection, and the parameter trimming framework combined with C-IQA saves the computation of iterative image reconstruction up to 80%.

description: Developing an understanding of how magnetic fields can become entangled in a prominence is important for predicting a possible eruption. This work investigates the kinetic energy and vorticity associated with plasma motion residing inside quiescent prominences (QPs). These plasma flow characteristics can be utilized to improve our understanding of how the prominence maintains a stable magnetic field configuration. Three different contrast-enhanced solar prominence observations from Hinode/Solar Optical Telescope were used to construct velocity maps -- in the plane of the sky -- via a Fourier local correlation tracking program. The resulting velocities were then used to perform the first ever analysis of the two-dimensional kinetic energy and enstrophy spectra of a prominence. Enstrophy is introduced here as a means of quantifying the vorticity that has been observed in many QPs. The kinetic energy power spectral density (PSD) produced indices ranging from -1.00 to -1.60. There was a consistent anisotropy in the kinetic energy spectrum of all three prominences examined. Examination of the intensity PSD reveals that a different scaling relationship exists between the observed prominence structure and velocity maps. All of the prominences exhibited an inertial range of at least $0.8 \leq k\leq 2.0\; \textrm{rads} \: \textrm{Mm}^{-1}$. Quasi-periodic oscillations were also detected in the centroid of the velocity distributions for one prominence. Additionally, a lower limit was placed on the kinetic energy density ($ε\, \sim 0.22-7.04\: \mathrm{km}^{2}\textrm{s}^{-2}$) and enstrophy density ($ω\, \sim 1.43-13.69\: \times 10^{-16} \, \textrm{s}^{-2}$) associated with each prominence.

description: The rapid thermal direct deposition of micro-crystalline silicon (μc-Si) layers by atmospheric pressure
chemical vapour deposition (APCVD) can be done on different intermediate layers and on various substrates. The
deposition is done at temperatures between 850 °C and 1150 °C. A deposition rate of 1.6 μm/min has been achieved
using standard process conditions. The microcrystalline structure changes depending on the deposition temperature
and the layer thickness. Electron backscatter diffraction measurements show grain sizes of 0.5-10.0 μm with a
columnar structure. The doping concentration depending on cell concept and layer thickness can be adjusted from
1 x 1016 cm-3 to 1 x 1020 cm-3 using diborane and from 1 x 1017 cm-3 to 1 x 1020 cm-3 using phosphine. Based on these
process parameters and material properties the μc-Si layers have been simulated and optimised for two different solar
cell concepts featuring different metallisation schemes and a comparison between epitaxial μc-Si emitter, diffused
POCl3 emitter, and plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) deposited a-Si heterojunction solar cells.

description: We report on gate hysteresis in resistance on high quality graphene/h-BN devices. We observe a thermal activated hysteretic behavior in resistance as a function of the applied gate voltage at temperatures above 375K. In order to investigate the origin of the hysteretic phenomenon, we design heterostructures involving graphene/h-BN devices with different underlying substrates such as: SiO2/Si and graphite; where heavily doped silicon and graphite are used as a back gate electrodes, respectively. The gate hysteretic behavior of the resistance shows to be present only in devices with an h-BN/SiO2 interface and is dependent on the orientation of the applied gate electric field and sweep rate. Finally, we suggest a phenomenological model, which captures all of our findings based on charges trapped at the h-BN/SiO2. Certainly, such hysteretic behavior in graphene resistance represents a technological problem for the application of graphene devices at high temperatures, but conversely, it can open new routes for applications on digital electronics and graphene memory devices.

description: An agent-based negotiation team is a group of interdependent agents that join together as a single negotiation party due to their shared interests in the negotiation at hand. The reasons to employ an agent-based negotiation team may vary: (i) more computation and parallelization capabilities, (ii) unite agents with different expertise and skills whose joint work makes it possible to tackle complex negotiation domains, (iii) the necessity to represent different stakeholders or different preferences in the same party (e.g., organizations, countries, and married couple). The topic of agent-based negotiation teams has been recently introduced in multi-agent research. Therefore, it is necessary to identify good practices, challenges, and related research that may help in advancing the state-of-the-art in agent-based negotiation teams. For that reason, in this article we review the tasks to be carried out by agent-based negotiation teams. Each task is analyzed and related with current advances in different research areas. The analysis aims to identify special challenges that may arise due to the particularities of agent-based negotiation teams.

description: This work reports recent results related to Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells obtained using an alternative
approach for CIGS growth. Such original approach consists of sputtering deposition of the metal elements combined
with selenium co-evaporation, which allows deposition time of the CIGS layer lower than 30 min, matching
industrial application requirements. The cylindrical geometry of the deposition chamber can be exploited for a
continuous process (roll-to roll approach) and different substrates can be used (11x14 cm2 soda lime glass and
120x14 cm2 stainless steel). Minimodules on glass substrates composed by 14 cells (37x4 mm2) were fabricated
obtaining a maximum open circuit voltage of 6681 mV. Test solar cells of 0.5 cm2 on flexible stainless steel
substrates have shown an efficiency of 11.9%.

description: The dependence of photoluminescence of CIGS solar cells under applied voltage is investigated for
samples with two different buffer layers, CdS and ZnS. Photoluminescence under bias is a derivative method which is
sensitive to the electric field induced changes in the PL response. According to the theory based on simple transport
equation, with increasing forward bias the PL intensity increases, reaches a maximum and keeps constant or decreases
again. The PL maximum is reached in flat band condition, i.e. when the applied voltage is around the built-in voltage Vbi;.
However, experimental results show dependence of Vbi with the buffer layer. Indeed, with ZnS buffer layer flat band
condition is reached at 0.6–1 V while CdS samples seem to exhibit higher values. In this study, a model is developed to
study the real influence of the buffer layer on photoluminescence. Simulation results show that the buffer/absorber
interface properties such as the interface states and band offsets are crucial for the determination of the built-in voltage.

description: CuInS2 (CIS) is a suitable material to be used as absorber in thin film solar cell (TFSC). CIS films were
deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) from CuCl, InCl3 and H2S at T = 350 - 450°C. As the deposition of films
with the appropriate Cu/In atomic ratio could not be achieved by alternating Cu2S and In2S3 growth cycles, a novel
method that consists in the deposition of In2S3 on Cu2S layer was developed. Homogeneous CuInS2 films with the
typical optical properties of CIS were obtained (direct gap, Eg = 1,50 eV), and used as absorber in solar cell.
Complete devices (Mo/CIS/CdS/ZnO/ZnO:Al) were done and achieved moderate efficiency (n = 1,6 - 2,8%) due to
low VOC values (VOC = 0,26 - 0,31 V) but relatively good EQE (0,7) and JSC values (JSC = 13,1 - 16,1 mA.cm-2).

description: We present observations and dust tail models of activated asteroid P/2015 X6 from deep imaging data acquired at the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) from mid-December 2015 to late January 2016. The results of the modeling indicate that the asteroid has undergone a sustained dust loss over a two-month or longer period. The dust parameters, derived from multidimensional fits of the available images, are compatible with either ice sublimation or rotational instability processes. An impulsive event, as it could be associated to an impact with another body, is less likely. A power-law distribution of particles, with minimum and maximum radius of 1 $μ$m and 1 cm, and power index of --3.3 is found to be consistent with the observations. Depending on the ejection velocity model adopted, the particle velocities are found in the 0.3 to 10 m s$^{-1}$ range. The activation time was between 18-26 days before discovery. The total ejected mass from that time to the most recent observation is in the range 5-9$\times$10$^6$ kg. No dust features giving indication of past activity earlier than the activation time have been observed.

description: Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin film solar cells are grown by the Pulsed Electron Deposition (PED)
technique. Unlike other techniques, PED process allows the stoichiometric deposition of CIGS layers in a single
stage, without requiring further treatments for selenization or Cu/(In+Ga) ratio adjustment. Due to the high kinetic
energy of impinging adatoms on the substrate (1÷20 eV), dense CIGS films with [112]-oriented grains are obtained at
low substrate temperatures (< 300°C), where Na diffusion from soda-lime glass is strongly inhibited, limiting the
photovoltaic efficiency. Here, a novel method is proposed in order to supply the necessary Na content: a sodium
fluoride (NaF) film is deposited by PED on Mo back contact, followed by a thermal annealing. Solar cells were
completed using CdS deposited by Chemical Bath Deposition (CBD), a PED-deposited ZnO:Al (AZO) layer and
evaporated Ni contact pads. No pure ZnO nor antireflection coating was applied.

description: In this article, an agent-based negotiation model for negotiation teams that negotiate a deal with an opponent is presented. Agent-based negotiation teams are groups of agents that join together as a single negotiation party because they share an interest that is related to the negotiation process. The model relies on a trusted mediator that coordinates and helps team members in the decisions that they have to take during the negotiation process: which offer is sent to the opponent, and whether the offers received from the opponent are accepted. The main strength of the proposed negotiation model is the fact that it guarantees unanimity within team decisions since decisions report a utility to team members that is greater than or equal to their aspiration levels at each negotiation round. This work analyzes how unanimous decisions are taken within the team and the robustness of the model against different types of manipulations. An empirical evaluation is also performed to study the impact of the different parameters of the model.

description: Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) has many advantages as the material for high-efficiency thin-film solar cells. Up
to now, the world record efficiency of 20.3% was achieved. However, its Ga content was about 0.35 (band gap of
about 1.2 eV) although it is expected to improve the efficiency by increasing band gap until 1.4 eV. Actually, high
efficient CIGS solar cells with high Ga content has not been reported. One of the reasons is that the notch in the
double-graded band profile of CIGS becomes deeper as the Ga content increases due to low diffusivity of Ga atoms
on growing surface and a valence band change scarcely. Therefore, we attempted to improve the band profile of
CIGS solar cells with high Ga content preparing at high temperature. In order to prepare CIGS films using a threestage
method at high temperature, a Glass A (Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd.) with high strain point of 620 oC was
employed as a substrate. Furthermore, we have attempted an incorporation of soda lime glass (SLG) layers in order to
control the Na diffusion. As the result, the efficiency of 10.2% was achieved without any SLG thin films.

description: In this work, we describe the influence of two deposition parameters on the material’s in-depth gallium
gradient, structural properties and the opto-electronic properties of finished solar cells from these absorbers.
We deposited Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin films on Mo-coated soda-lime glass substrates using a 3-stage co-evaporation
process. Different Ga profiles are obtained by varying the deposition rates of In and Ga in either the first or the third
stage. The material’s composition, its crystal structure and phases with different Ga concentrations are investigated
by x-ray diffraction. Grazing incidence x-ray diffraction is used to access in-depth variations of the lattice parameter
due to different concentration ratios cGa/(cGa+cIn). Photovoltaic devices are completed with a CdS buffer layer, i-ZnO
layer and ZnO:Al front contact and the opto-electronic properties are investigated by current-voltage and spectral
quantum efficiency measurements.
In conclusion the results from the characterization methods are correlated to the absorber deposition process and
diffusion phenomena.

description: In this note, we have addressed various issues on zero temperature holographic superfluids. First, inspired by our numerical evidence for the equality between the superfluid density and particle density, we provide an elegant analytic proof for this equality by a boost trick. Second, using not only the frequency domain analysis but also the time domain analysis from numerical relativity, we identify the hydrodynamic normal modes and calculate out the sound speed, which is shown to increase with the chemical potential and saturate to the value predicted by the conformal field theory in the large chemical potential limit. Third, the generic non-thermalization is demonstrated by the fully non-linear time evolution from a non-equilibrium state for our zero temperature holographic superfluid. Furthermore, a conserved Noether charge is proposed in support of this behavior.

description: Atmospheric pressure CVD (APCVD) is a highly cost effective method of depositing transparent
conductive oxides (TCOs). In this work, insights in alcohol addition in the widely applied SnO2 process are
discussed, including high resolution TEM images. Furthermore, the APCVD process of ZnO:Al was demonstrated on
an industrial moving belt APCVD system. A high deposition rate of 14 nm/s, a resistivity down to 0.5 mOhm cm and
a transparency about 85% in the visible range were obtained. Furthermore, modeling of the CVD process clearly
enhanced understanding of the process and is a good tool for process optimization in combination with experimental
verification. A-Si solar cells approaching 8% were obtained, using the ZnO on glass as a superstrate.

description: Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) is a type of gaseous detector having excellent time and position resolutions. VECC is involved in the R\&D of indigenously developed bakelite RPCs. The largest size of bakelite RPC developed in India is 100 cm $\times$ 100 cm. We present here the test results of a bakelite sample along with the cosmic ray test results of a bakelite RPC (30 cm $\times$ 30 cm $\times$ 0.2cm) fabricated at VECC. The steps taken towards the development of a large size (240 cm $\times$ 120 cm $\times$ 0.2 cm) bakelite RPC have also been discussed.

description: We interpret the 750-760 GeV diphoton resonance as one or more of the spinless components of a singlet superfield arising from the three 27-dimensional representations of $E_6$ in F-theory, which also contain three copies of colour-triplet charge $\mp 1/3$ vector-like fermions $D_i,\bar{D}_i$ and inert Higgs doublets to which the singlets may couple. For definiteness we consider (without change) a model that was proposed some time ago which contains such states, as well as bulk exotics, leading to gauge coupling unification. The smoking gun prediction of the model is the existence of other similar spinless resonances, possibly close in mass to 750-760 GeV, decaying into diphotons, as well as the three families of vector-like fermions $D_i,\bar{D}_i$.

description: We use short R&D cycle times to create world-class conversion efficiencies in sulfur-free sequentialsputtering
of copper-indium-gallium-selenide (CIGSe) photovoltaic (PV) cells. In just 9 months, we achieved high
Voc of 693mV for a bandgap of 1.12 eV with an efficiency of 17.7% on the best PV cell. This Voc is at a world-class
level similar to 3-stage co-evaporated CIGSe, while both efficiency and Voc are near records for sulfur-containing
sequentially processed CIGSSe.
We used combinatorial metal precursor sputtering of Cu(In,Ga) followed by selenization in H2Se. Up to 220 CIGSe
PV cells with unique composition and thickness can be processed and characterized rapidly within one substrate. The
structural and optoelectronic properties of the absorber were characterized by SEM, SIMS, XRD, XRF, and PL. The
cell results were characterized by custom automated IV and EQE testers. The data were captured and analyzed with a
proprietary data management system to allow for fast learning. Device simulation by TCAD was used to model
material properties such as Ga depth profile to optimize device parameters. The same methodology can be applied to
increase the speed of development for other complex photovoltaic materials and structures.

description: It is shown that the vector-vortex Laguerre-Gauss modes with polarization-orbital angular momentum (OAM) entanglement are the vector solutions of the Maxwell equations in a graded-index medium. Focusing of linearly and circularly polarized vortex light beams with nonzero azimuthal and radial indices in a cylindrical graded-index medium is investigated. The wave shape variation with distance taking into account the spin-orbit and nonparaxial effects is analyzed. Effect of long-term periodical revival of wave packets due to mode interference in a graded-index cylindrical optical waveguide is demonstrated. High efficiency transfer of a strongly focused spot through an optical waveguide over large distances takes place with a period of revival.

description: Zinc oxide thin films have been deposited at high growth rates (up to ~ 1 nm/s) by spatial atomic layer
deposition technique at atmospheric pressure. Water has been used as oxidant for diethylzinc (DEZ) at deposition
temperature of 250°C. By varying the DEZ partial pressure, the electrical properties of ZnO can be controlled,
ranging from heavily n-type conductive (with  4 mOhm.cm resistivity for 250 nm thickness) to insulating. All the
films have c-axis (100) preferential orientation, good crystalline quality and high transparency (~ 85%) in the visible
range. Combining the high deposition rates with a precise control of functional properties (i.e. conductivity and
transparency) of the films, the industrially scalable spatial ALD technique can become a disruptive manufacturing
method for the ZnO-based industry. Currently, we are developing a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition
process for the growth of ZnO thin films at atmospheric pressure and low temperature (200°C).

description: Temperature-dependent measurements in the range of 50 to 300 K were performed on
low-temperature deposited Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGSe) solar cells with varying sodium content. From external quantum
efficiency measurements (EQE) it was found that the sodium content influences the optical bandgap Egap,opt and Urbach
Energy EU of the absorber and as well as the temperature dependency of both parameters. Furthermore it is shown that
the quantum efficiency at room temperature is lower in the longer wavelength region (≈ 800-1100 nm) for higher sodium
content. This effect is even more pronounced at lower temperatures. This can be attributed to reduced carrier collection,
most probably caused by smaller diffusion length and smaller space charge region width. Temperature dependent IV
measurements reveal an influence of sodium on the electrical bandgap of the absorber calculated from the temperature
dependence of ideality factor and saturation current. Furthermore the influence of the rollover effect seen in the IV curve
at lower temperatures depends strongly on the sodium content.

description: The influence of the buffer layer thickness and the thiourea concentration in chemical bath on the cell
performances of ZnS(O,OH)/CIGS solar cells was investigated. It was found that a high efficiency CIGS solar cell
could be achieved by increasing the thiourea concentration in the CBD solution even if a very thin ZnS(O,OH) buffer
layer (10nm) was used. As a result, the CBD deposition time could be shortened to one six as compared to that of
thicker buffer layer thickness of 120nm. The results are discussed in connection with the conduction band offset at
the ZnS(O,OH)/CIGS interface.

description: Thin film photovoltaics (PV) offer the prospect of being significantly lower cost than traditional silicon
panels at competitive efficiencies. Some of the most promising absorber materials being commercialized are
CuInSe2-based (CIGS) due to demonstrated laboratory efficiencies over 20% [1, 2]. However, production module
efficiencies are typically considerably lower than the best laboratory results. Nanosolar CIGS solar cells are
produced using a low-cost non-vacuum printing method on flexible foil. This paper describes the practices that have
been developed at Nanosolar to transfer laboratory processes to MW-scale manufacturing processes, at nearequivalent
efficiencies. This has been accomplished by 1) developing laboratory equipment and processes that can
predictably mimic manufacturing processes, 2) utilizing statistically valid experimental methods of optimization in
the lab and manufacturing lines, and 3) establishing a deep fundamental understanding of the technology to aid in
transferring concepts rather than rote recipes. We compare laboratory and manufacturing line efficiency distributions
for different generations of Nanosolar cells and discuss the methodology which allows for efficient transfer of
laboratory breakthroughs into mass production.

description: Ambient Intelligence aims to offer personalized services and easier ways of interaction between people and systems. Since several users and systems may coexist in these environments, it is quite possible that entities with opposing preferences need to cooperate to reach their respective goals. Automated negotiation is pointed as one of the mechanisms that may provide a solution to this kind of problems. In this article, a multi-issue bilateral bargaining model for Ambient Intelligence domains is presented where it is assumed that agents have computational bounded resources and do not know their opponents' preferences. The main goal of this work is to provide negotiation models that obtain efficient agreements while maintaining the computational cost low. A niching genetic algorithm is used before the negotiation process to sample one's own utility function (self-sampling). During the negotiation process, genetic operators are applied over the opponent's and one's own offers in order to sample new offers that are interesting for both parties. Results show that the proposed model is capable of outperforming similarity heuristics which only sample before the negotiation process and of obtaining similar results to similarity heuristics which have access to all of the possible offers.
