Silicon Solar Cells with Si/SiO_x Nanocomposite Optimized Antireflective Coatings

摘要

Results of the investigation of the dependence of spectral reflection responses for Si/SiO_x composite films applied on a silicon solar cell surface as an antireflective coating on the composition and thickness of the layer deposited are presented. These responses are compared with the parameters achieved when using a Si_3N_4 antireflective coating. The results of the analysis demonstrate the possibility of producing an optimum antireflective coating for silicon solar cells using Si/SiO_x composite films.
