With this in mind, we present a systematic quantification of the transport losses of the electron (contact resistivity, rc ≈ 30 mO·cm²) and hole ( rc ≈ 240 mO·cm²) contact of our silicon heterojunctions, which enable fill factors above 80% on cell level. We identify the cause of the higher transport losses of the hole contact to be the intrinsic a-Si:H and ITO layer and that these layers are also responsible for a limited thermal stability. Furthermore, temperature-dependent I-V measurements reveal the nonohmic nature of the transport losses in case that intrinsic a-Si:H and transparent conductive oxide are part of the heterojunction.enPhotovoltaikSilicium-PhotovoltaikHerstellung und Analyse von hocheffizienten Si-Solarzellen621697Transport Losses at the TCO/a-Si:H/c-Si Heterojunction: Influence of Different Layers and Annealingjournal article
