Impact of defect type on hydrogen passivation effectiveness in multicrystalline silicon solar cells

In this work we examine the effectiveness of hydrogen passivation at grain boundaries as a function of defect type and microstructure in multicrystalline silicon. We analyze a specially prepared solar cell with alternating mm-wide bare and SiNx-coated stripes using laser beam-induced current (LBIC),...
