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 ...

SiGe Thin-Film Structures for Solar Cells
MRS Proceedings, 1997AbstractIn order to study their applicability as the active base material in Si thin crystalline film solar cell technology, SiGe relaxed layers grown by Liquid Phase Epitaxy (LPE) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) on Si substrates are investigated by optical and electrical measurements (TEM, EXD, PL, EBIC).

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 film photovoltaics (solar cells)
Proceedings of the 24th Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference, 2003The use of thin-film photovoltaic (PV) devices as cost-effective electricity sources is discussed, focusing on cadmium telluride, copper indium diselenide, and amorphous silicon, which have become leading candidates for future large-scale commercialization.

Plasma texturing of thin film solar cells
2010A potentially inexpensive way to texture silicon surfaces especially for crystalline silicon thin-film solar cells is the plasma texturing method. This method uses the principle of self-masking and is realised at Fraunhofer ISE using an isotropic and an anisotropic power supply.

Technology of thin film solar cells
Thin Solid Films, 1977Abstract Solar energy can be converted for utilization in different ways. One of the most attractive applications is the direct conversion of solar radiation to electricity. For large scale applications large area photovoltaic devices are required. High efficiency solar cells can be produced on the basis of thin semiconducting films. A pilot line for
