✦ Synopsis

Solar p-i-n junction cells were fabricated on indium-tin-oxide-coated glass and parameters and lifetime were tested for p layers made both of hydrogenated amorphous silicon and of admixtures of SiC. The hydrogenated amorphous silicon cells gave efficiencies of around 6% but the cells with admixtures of SiC showed around 5¼% efficiency, although they gave about 20% higher short-circuit current. The cell lifetime behavior was very similar, suggesting that the dominant factors, as yet unidentified, in determining lifetime were in the i layer.
