| Sumario: | Solar cells represent one of the main sources of sustainable energy solutions, driving innovation towards more efficient and cost-effective technologies. This Master thesis investigates the design and fabrication of an Interdigitated Back Contact architecture applicable to absorbers with temperature deposition lower than 200ºC, like selenium, perovskites and other organic compounds. The main objective is to optimise this platform using amorphous silicon (a-Si) as absorber due to its well-known properties and widespread use. Most of the technological challenges are solved successfully, providing an a-Si IBC solar cells with I-V results that provide a solid basis for future utilisation with other absorbers. The thesis concludes by highlighting all the technological advances achieved and outlining future lines of research aimed at addressing the remaining technical challenges in the development of high-efficiency architectures for all types of absorbers. |
