This thesis provides a comprehensive study of state-of-the-art silicon solar cells and their integration as bottom cells in novel perovskite-silicon tandem devices by means of numerical simulation. It comprises detailed opto-electrical device simulation based on sophisticated physical models to analyze the most relevant solar cell concepts featuring passivating contacts, including tunnel-oxide passivating contacts (TOPCon), silicon heterojunctions (SHJ) as well as alternative contact layers like metal oxides. In close collaboration with experimental work done at Fraunhofer ISE, this work addresses current experimental challenges and technological restrictions and elaborates on the potential of future improvements.
