RT Journal Article T1 Sub-bandgap external quantum efficiency in Ti implanted Si heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer cells A1 Martil De La Plaza, Ignacio A1 González Díaz, Germán A1 Olea Ariza, Javier A1 Prado Millán, Álvaro Del AB In this work we present the manufacturing processes and results obtained from the characterization of heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer solar cells that include a heavily Ti ion implanted Si absorbing layer. The cells exhibit external circuit photocurrent at,photon energies well below the Si bandgap. We discuss the origin of this below-bandgap photocurrent and the modifications in the hydrogenated amorphous intrinsic Si layer thickness to increase the open-circuit voltage.
