6 FAQs about [Heterojunction cells and homojunction cells]
What is the difference between homojunction and heterojunction solar cells?
In a homojunction solar cell, the p and n-type semiconductors for window and absorbing layers are fabricated by doping the different elements into the same material. While in a heterojunction solar cell, the window layer and absorbing layer are fabricated using different materials [12, 13].
What is the difference between homojunction and heterojunction cells?
In homojunction cells a distinct space charge zone is present. In heterojunction cell, the p -region is separated from the n -region by a layer of intrinsic amorphous silicon, and the space charge region is not so pronounced, because of lower doping efficiencies and thinner layers, as compared to homojunction cells.
