Abstract

EBIC images of an HEM solar cell display extensive spatial innomogenieties in the production of short-circuit current. TEM imaging reveals a variety of morphologies having dimensions on the order of 10 Um embedded in the material.Correlation of a region with high current collection to one or these distinct morphological regions suggests that segregation or B is responsible for the EBIC contrast.
