文摘

Interface engineering is powerful tool to improve solar cell performances. Charge extraction in µc-Si solar cells is limited by the crack formation. Methods that enable complete virtual fabrication of solar cells are developed. Influence of interface engineering on optics and crack formation is investigated. Analytical model to predict crack formation is presented.
