Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, 1995
AbstractThe R&D status of cells and modules based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a‐Si:H) and those based on CdTe and CuInSe2is reviewed.The stability of a‐Si:H solar cells is still a major concern. Improvements have been achieved on an empirical basis by application of multijunction structures, optimization of interfaces, etc.

Thin-film Si:H-based solar cells
Vacuum, 2008Recent developments in the photovoltaic (PV) industry, driven by a shortage of solar grade Si feedstock to grow Si wafers or ribbons, have stimulated a strong renewed interest in thin-film technologies and in particular in solar cells based on protocrystalline hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) or nanocrystalline/microcrystalline (nc/μc)-Si:H ...

Thin Solid Films, 2009
Abstract The rapid progress that is being made with inorganic thin-film photovoltaic (PV) technologies, both in the laboratory and in industry, is reviewed. While amorphous silicon based PV modules have been around for more than 20 years, recent industrial developments include the first polycrystalline silicon thin-film solar cells on glass and the ...

Nanostructured Thin Film Solar Cells
Advanced Photonics & Renewable Energy, 2010The high cost of monocrystalline and poly-crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells has led the solar industry to search for cheaper alternative technologies, such as thin film-based devices. In particular, devices made using hydrogenated amorphous (a-Si:H) and micro-crystalline silicon (uc-Si:H) have become a popular class of thin film solar cells thanks

Thin film solar cell materials
Applied Surface Science, 1993Photovoltaic energy conversion is based upon the generation of charge carriers by absorption of light and on their local separation in semiconductor junctions. The necessary thickness of the absorbing layer has to correspond with the lengths across which photogenerated carriers are collected.

IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, 1967
Thin-film solar cells utilizing polycrystalline gallium-arsenide films have been made and investigated to determine their suitability for future solar-power systems. The gallium-arsenide films are vapor deposited onto substrates of molybdenum or aluminum foil.
