Abstract
Intrinsic amorphous silicon germanium (i-a-SiGe:H) films with V, U and VU shape band gap profiles for amorphous silicon germanium (a-SiGe:H) heterojunction solar cells were fabricated. The band gap profiles of i-a-SiGe:H were prepared by varying the GeH4 and H2 flow rates during the deposition process. The use of i-a-SiGe:H with band gap profile in an absorber layer for a-SiGe:H heterojunction solar cells was investigated. The solar cell using a VU shape band gap profile shows a higher efficiency compared to other shapes. The highest efficiency obtained for an a-SiGe:H heterojunction solar cell using the VU shape band gap profile technique was 9.4% (Voc=0.79V, Jsc=19.0mA/cm2 and FF=0.63).
