In this work, we aim to obtain a better insight into the influence of the rear-dielectric/Ag BR design on the optical performance of hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (µc-Si:H) solar cells. To allow the application of a large variety of rear dielectrics combined with Ag BRs of diverse topographies, the solar cell is equipped with a local electrical contact scheme that enables the use of non-conductive rear dielectrics such as air or transparent liquids of various refractive indices n. With this approach, detached Ag BRs having the desire surface texture can be placed behind the same solar cell, yielding a direct and precise evaluation of their impact on the optical cell performance. The experiments show that both the external quantum efficiency and the device absorptance are improved with decreasing n and increasing roughness of the BR. Calculations of the angular intensity distribution of the scattered light in the µc-Si:H are presented. They allow for establishing a consistent picture of the light trapping in the solar cell. 000138036 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-111$$a111 - Thin Film Photovoltaics (POF2-111)$$cPOF2-111$$fPOF II$$x0 000138036 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, juser.fz-juelich.de 000138036 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)130282$$aPaetzold, Ulrich W.$$b1 000138036 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)130219$$aBittkau, Karsten$$b2 000138036 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aOwen, Jorj$$b3 000138036 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)130256$$aKirchhoff, Joachim$$b4 000138036 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)140200$$aBauer, Andreas$$b5 000138036 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)130225$$aCarius, Reinhard$$b6 000138036 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2023295-0$$a10.1002/pip.2355$$gp. n/a - n/a$$n5$$p1236–1247$$tProgress in photovoltaics$$v21$$x1099-159X$$y2013 000138036 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/138036/files/FZJ-2013-04309.pdf$$yRestricted 000138036 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:138036$$pVDB 000138036 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)130270$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b0$$kFZJ 000138036 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)130282$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b1$$kFZJ 000138036 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)130219$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b2$$kFZJ 000138036 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-HGF)0$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b3$$kFZJ 000138036 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)130256$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b4$$kFZJ 000138036 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)140200$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b5$$kFZJ 000138036 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)130225$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b6$$kFZJ 000138036 9132_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-129H$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-120$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-100$$aDE-HGF$$bForschungsbereich Energie$$lErneuerbare Energien$$vAddenda$$x0 000138036 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-111$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF2-110$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF2-100$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF2$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bEnergie$$lErneuerbare Energien$$vThin Film Photovoltaics$$x0 000138036 9141_ $$y2013 000138036 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0010$$2StatID$$aJCR/ISI refereed 000138036 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR 000138036 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0110$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index 000138036 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0111$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded 000138036 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection 000138036 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bThomson Reuters Master Journal List 000138036 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS 000138036 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1050$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBIOSIS Previews 000138036 920__ $$lyes 000138036 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)IEK-5-20101013$$kIEK-5$$lPhotovoltaik$$x0 000138036 980__ $$ajournal 000138036 980__ $$aVDB 000138036 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000138036 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IEK-5-20101013 000138036 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IMD-3-20101013
