Table 5

Sensitivity of the pm-Si:H solar cell output to the band edge line-up between P-μc-SiOx:H and pm-Si:H in cells employing a single window layer in the initial state. ΔEc and ΔEv are respectively the conduction band and valence band discontinuities and ΔEμ the band gap discontinuity between the two. In Table 4 throughout we had assumed ΔEc = ΔEv = ΔEμ/ 2.
