SiN x : Tb 3+-Yb 3+ , an efficient down-conversion layer compatible with silicon solar cell process Abstract Tb 3+-Yb 3+ co-doped SiN x down-conversion layers compatible with silicon Photovoltaic Technology were prepared by reactive magnetron co-sputtering. Efficient sensitization of Tb 3+ ions through a SiN x host matrix and cooperative energy...

Down converter SiN x :Yb 3+ /SiN x :Tb 3+ multilayers are deposited by reactive magnetron cosputtering with the objective of optimizing the interaction distance betweenTb 3+ and Yb 3+ ions to favor a better light management in Si solar cells. Those Si‐based multilayers are developed to be compatible with the Si photovoltaic technology. The...
