Department of Engineering Physics, Delhi Technological University, Shahbad Daulatpur, Main Bawana Road, New Delhi, Delhi 110042, India article info Article history: Received 4 November 2015 Received in revised form 26 April 2016 Accepted 31 May 2016 Available online 9 June 2016 Keywords: ATLAS Rear contact Power conversion ef?ciency Recombination SiGe Solar cell abstract In this effort, 10 lm thick rear contact (RC) silicon–germanium (SiGe) based solar cell device has been discussed with SiC (20 nm)-based front surface passivation for the suppression of interface recombination as well as improvement of short circuit current density (JSC) and open-circuit voltage (VOC). The design principles presented here balance the electronic and photonic effects together and is a signi?cant step to design highly ef?cient thin solar cells. Photo re?ectance is signi?cantly reduced in the UV/visible spectral region due to the presence of SiC. This results in external quantum ef?ciency (EQE) 90% in the spectrum range of 400–650 nm wavelength. Also, at wavelengths equivalent to 300 nm, SiC passivated device shows record EQE of 85%. The presence of SiC as a surface passivating layer shows enhanced surface characteristics in terms of reduced surface recombination and higher photon absorption rate. This results in 15.4% power conversion ef?ciency (PCE) under standard air mass 1.5 illuminations. Further, the proposed device has also been analyzed for concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) applications, resulting in 18.4% and 19.3% ef?ciencies at 1 W/cm2 (10 suns, 27 °C) and 2 W/cm2 (20 suns, 27 °C) respectively. Till date, the proposed design proves to be highly ef?cient in the sub 10 lm regime. All the
