This approach is of particular interest since the adhesive itself forms both the electrical and the mechanical interconnection of the bonded sub-cells. The electrical and optical characterization of the developed TCA shows a minimum connecting resistivity of 17 Ocm2 and a simulated reflection at the Si-TCA interface of &#8776; 20%. By coating both substrate surfaces with a TiO2 anti reflection coating (ARC), the reflectance at the Si-TCA interface was successfully reduced down to <5%. The efficiency potential of a glued dual junction device was simulated in dependence of the electrical and optical properties of the TCA. The reported values of 17 Ocm2 connecting resistivity and 20% reflection limit the device efficiency to 22.3% (71% of the maximum achievable efficiency). Reducing the reflection to below 5%, as practically demonstrated in this paper, allows to increase this value to 25.3% (>80% of maximum), while additionally reducing the connecting resistivity to 10 Ocm² or 1 Ocm2 allows for a further increase to 27.3% and 30.0%, respectively.enPhotovoltaikNeuartige Photovoltaik-TechnologienTandemsolarzellen auf kristallinem Silicium621697conference paper
