Abstract/Summary:

---

Among carrier selective layers that can be thermally evaporated, MoOx and Al-capped LiFx have shown promising performance. Here, we investigate the electrical performance of hole-selective MoOx and electron-selective LiFx/Al on (n)c-Si surfaces with wet-chemically grown SiOx by RCA-1 and RCA-2, without employing additional passivating layers such as intrinsic amorphous silicon. We analyze the effect of these chemically-grown oxides on the contact resistivity of (n)c-Si/LiFx/Al and passivation of (n)c-Si/MoOx interfaces, and achieve the highest quality for both interfaces with RCA-2 grown oxide. For a double side polished, 2x2 cm2 (n)c-Si solar cell, we demonstrate an open-circuit voltage > 615 mV and a fill factor > 78 %. For a double-side pyramid textured cell, a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.72 % is demonstrated, which is the highest reported PCE for the topology analyzed in this work. Furthermore, we perform a cost analysis to identify the requirements for this device structure to be competitive with devices utilizing the same carrier-selective layers with additional passivating layers.
