Layer sequence of the new solar cells

Caption

Layer sequence of the new solar cells with transparent frontal layers (TPC, Transparent Passivating Contact) on a wafer with random pyramid structure. The gray area corresponds to the n-doped crystalline silicon wafer, the light blue layer is the wet-chemically grown silicon dioxide, the red layer corresponds to the passivating silicon carbide, followed by the conducting silicon carbide in orange. The green, final layer corresponds to the indium tin oxide (ITO).
