Abstract
Major new results are reported for silicon MIS solar cells. Open‐circuit voltages up to 655 mV (AM0, 25 °C) have been obtained for 0.1‐Ω cm silicon wafers, substantially higher than previously reported for any other silicon solar cell. On an active‐area basis, the efficiency of these high‐output‐voltage cells is close to the best silicon cell yet produced with 17.6% active‐area efficiency (AM1, 28 °C) for a 3‐cm2 cell.Keywords
