abstract = {In this article we present a comprehensive study of
microcrystalline silicon (PC-Si:H) p-i-n solar cells
prepared by using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition
(PECVD) at 13.56 MHz excitation frequency. In the first step
the cell development was performed in a small area PECVD
reactor showing the relationship between the deposition
process parameters and the resulting solar cell performance.
Subsequent up-scaling to a substrate area of 30 X 30 cm
confirmed the scalability of optimized deposition parameters
to large area reactors. We investigated the deposition
regime of high rf power P (rf) (0.25-0.7 W/cm(2)) and high
deposition pressure P (dep) (1 - 11 Torr) for the muc-Si:H i
layer. Furthermore, the influence of silane concentration
and deposition temperature was studied. A transition between
amorphous and microcrystalline growth could be achieved by a
variation of either deposition pressure, plasma power, or
silane concentration. The best microcrystalline silicon
solar cells were prepared close to the transition to
amorphous growth. A high deposition pressure was a
prerequisite for obtaining, high quality material at a high
growth rate. The best solar cell efficiencies achieved so
far are $8.1\%$ and $6.6\%$ at i-layer growth rates of 5 and
10 Angstrom/s, respectively, for muc-Si:H single junction
cells. Applied in a-Si:H/muc-Si:H tandem cells a stabilized
efficiency of $10.0\%$ was achieved. (C) 2002 American
