Abstract

See full text

A polarization resistant solar cell using an oxygen-rich interface layer is provided. The oxygen-rich interface layer may be comprised of SiOxNy, which may have a graded profile that varies between oxygen-rich proximate to the solar cell to nitrogen-rich distal to the solar cell. A silicon oxide passivation layer may be interposed between the solar cell and the SiOxNy graded dielectric layer. The graded SiOxNy dielectric layer may be replaced with a non-graded SiOxNy dielectric layer and a SiN AR coating.
