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

Looking back at the passivating contact workshop in Eindhoven (part 3 of 3)
– Novel non-silicon based passivating contact materials
During the passivating contact workshop in Eindhoven earlier this year more than 80 people enjoyed several in-depth presentations and discussions on this hot topic in crystalline silicon PV research. Since the PV conference low season / summer break has

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
