Complete microcrystalline p-i-n solar cell—Crystalline or amorphous cell behavior?
TL;DR: Voltage‐dependent spectral response measurements suggest that the carrier transport in complete μc‐Si:H p‐i‐n cells may possibly be cosupported by diffusion (in addition to drift), and first light‐soaking experiments indicate no degradation for the entirely μc •Si •H cells.
