Abstract

Substantial improvements in silicon solar cell performance are reported. These improvements have been obtained primarily by improved cell open circuit voltage obtained by improved passivation of the cell emitter region. Careful attention to optical design and to the minimization of parasitic resistances has also resulted in the demonstration of short circuit current densities and fill factors comparable to the best values reported for silicon.
