abstract = {Thin-film silicon solar cells often rely on a metal back
reflector separated from the silicon layers by a thin rear
dielectric as a back reflector (BR) design. 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.},
