Originální abstrakt

Study of optical and photoelectrical properties of solar cells is important for cell development and its optimizing. A scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) proves to be an invaluable tool for studying (not only) monocrystalline silicon solar cells in microscale resolution. It does not reach as high a resolution as the atomic force microscope (AFM), but it makes the local optical excitation of specimen possible. With regard to the nature of the surface of the solar cell under investigation, the resolution of modified SNOM is more than sufficient. Topography, local reflective power and electrical response measurements of the solar cell are performed in the microscale, even nanoscale resolution. Lock-in nanovoltmetr is used for solar cell local electric response measurement. All of the mentioned measurements can be carried out simultaneously at the same point of the solar cell surface, which is a great benefit of this method. Relationships between the images obtained in the various measurements can easily be evaluated. We have investigated at which points of the surface the efficiency of the optical radiation to electric energy conversion is maximum and tried to identify structure defects in the surface.
