Monolithic Fabrication of Silicon Nanowires Bridging Thick Silicon Structures

Davide Sacchetto, Yusuf Leblebici, Oliver Peric, Zuhal Tasdemir

A monolithic process is developed for the fabrication of Si nanowires within thick Si substrates. A combination of anisotropic etch and sidewall passivation is utilized to protect and release Si lines during the subsequent deep etch. An etch depth of 10 mu ...

Progression towards high efficiency perovskite solar cells via optimisation of the front electrode and blocking layer

Christophe Ballif, Arnaud Walter, Davide Sacchetto, Sylvain Nicolay, Matthias Wolfgang Bräuninger, Björn Niesen, Soo-Jin Moon

The effects of a fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) electrode, titanium dioxide (TiO2-x) blocking layer (BL) and perovskite (methyl ammonium lead triiodide) preparation on the overall properties of the photovoltaic cells have been studied. The FTO electrode wa ...
