Abstract
The quality of a-SiGe:H film was improved by considering the effects of substrate temperature and deposition rate on film properties. Accurate measurement of the optical gap and the film composition of Si, Ge and H made it possible to formulate the optical gap using a linear function of bonded H content (CH) and Ge content (CGE). It was found for the first time that, when the optical gap is fixed to a certain value, the optimum compositions of CHAand CGe exist for high-quality a-SiGe:H. Based on these, we obtained the world's highest conversion efficiency of 3.7 % under red light (AM-1.5, 100mW/cm2 through an R65 filter which allows passage of longer wavelength (>650nm) light) for a 1cm2 a-SiGe single-junction cell. Long-term stability of the cell was also improved.
