    摘要: A polycrystalline film of silicon including silicon grains having an aspect ratio, d/t, of more than 1:1, wherein “d” is the grain diameter and “t” is the grain thickness. The polycrystalline film of silicon can be used to form an electronic device, such as a monolithically integrated solar cell having ohmic contacts formed on opposed surfaces or on the same surface of the film. A plurality of solar cells can be monolithically integrated to provide a solar cell module that includes an electrically insulating substrate and at least two solar cells disposed on the substrate in physical isolation from one another. Methods for manufacturing the film, solar cell and solar cell module are also disclosed. The simplified structure and method allow for substantial cost reduction on a mass-production scale, at least in part due to the high aspect ratio silicon grains in the film.

    摘要: A front-surface-illuminated photovoltaic device, having a first semiconductor layer (180) with a back surface, a second semiconductor layer (130) with a front surface, the second layer (130) having the opposite doping type to the first layer (180) and deposited on the first layer (180); and at least one ohmic contact (160, 230) to each of the first (180) and second (130) semiconductor layers; and a process for making the photovoltaic device. The device may also have a barrier layer (190) for reducing diffusion of impurities from the first semiconductor layer (180) into the second semiconductor layer (130), a blocking layer (120), and a reflector layer (200). The device may have an array of first regions (115) in which the second layer (130) is of opposite doping type to that of the first layer (180) and forms p-n junctions (240) in these first regions (115), and second regions (300), each second region (300) containing the barrier layer (190) and the reflector layer (200). The first (130) and second (300) regions are laterally intermixed, have a lateral shape of either bounded regions or stripes, or a combination of bounded regions and stripes.
