Abstract
We have studied interface formation properties of hybrid n-Si/PEDOT:PSS solar cells on planar substrates by varying the silicon substrate doping concentration (N D). Final power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of 12.6 % and open circuit voltages (V oc) comparable to conventional diffused emitter pn junction solar cells have been achieved. It was observed, that an increase of N D leads to an increase of V oc with a maximal value of 645 mV, which is, to our knowledge, the highest reported value for n-Si/PEDOT:PSS interfaces. The dependence of the solar cell characteristics on N D is analyzed and similarities to minority charge carrier drift-diffusion limited solar cells are presented. The results point out the potential of hybrid n-Si/PEDOT:PSS interfaces to fabricate high performance opto-electronic devices with cost-effective fabrication technologies.
