A Si quantum dot (QD) heterojunction solar cell with a p-type Si QD layer on an n-type crystalline Si wafer was developed.
A Si QD solar cell having a Si QD layer with a double-step B-doping profile was suggested to enhance the vertical charge carrier transport in the Si QD layer.
B-doping profile change from a single-step to double-step, the PCE of the Si QD solar cell increased from 14.41 % to 14.98 %.
