Characterization of Ultrathin Layers in Perovskite/TOPCon Tandem Cells With Photoelectron Spectroscopy Utilizing Advanced Data Evaluation Methods by Stefan Lange, Carl Eric Hartwig, Oussama Er-Raji, Patricia S. C. Schulze, Marko Turek, Juliane Borchert

“… Next generation solar cells like tunnel oxide passivated contacts (TOPCon) or perovskite/TOPCon tandem solar cells require efficient interface passivation by ultrathin organic or inorganic layers to uncover their true efficiency potential. Especially the microstructure and the Si suboxide content of the tunnel oxide in poly-Si(Ox)/SiO2/c-Si TOPCon stacks have been shown to have a tremendous influence on macroscopic device properties. …”
