The simulation results show that the new structure obtains higher efficiency compared with the typical bifa- cial amorphous/crystalline silicon-based solar cell because of an increase in the short-circuit current （Jsc）, while retaining the advantages of a high open-circuit voltage, low temperature coefficient, and good weak-light performance. Moreover, real cells composed of the novel structure with dimensions of 75 mm×75 mm were fabricated by a special fabrication recipe based on industrial processes. Without parameter optimization, the cell efficiency reached 21.1% with the Jsc of 41.7 mA/cm^2. In addition, the novel structure attained 28.55% potential conversion efficiency under an illumination of AM 1.5 G, 100 mW/cm^2. We conclude that the configuration of the Ag grid/SiNx/n＋-c-Si/n-c-Si/i-a-Si：H/p＋-a-Si：H/TCO/Ag grid is a promising structure for high efficiency and low cost.展开更多
