Abstract
Epitaxial layers on heavily doped CZ substrates were grown in an APCVD epitaxial system with different epitaxial layer resistivities: 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.5 ohm.cm, in order to investigate the influence of the resistivity on the solar cell characteristics. Textured and untextured layers were compared. I-V characteristics under normalised AM 1.5 illumination, dark I-V and spectral response were measured. The efficiencies and the photogenerated current were found to increase with increasing layer resistivities in the range of their investigations.
