Technology Mapping Using Multi-output Library Cells

Giovanni De Micheli, Alessandro Tempia Calvino

Technology mapping transforms a technology-independent representation into a technology-dependent one given a library of cells. Even if technology libraries contain multi-output cells, state-of-the-art techniques fully exploit single-output cells only. Mul ...

On‐chip technology for single‐cell arraying, electrorotation‐based analysis and selective release

Carlotta Guiducci, Samuel Kilchenmann, Kevin Keim, Paul Karoly Otto Ery, Mohamed Zakarya Alsaid Ali Rashed

This paper reports a method for label-free single-cell biophysical analysis of multiple cells trapped in suspension by electrokinetic forces. Tri-dimensional pillar electrodes arranged along the width of a microfluidic chamber define actuators for single c ...

From randomly self-textured substrates to highly efficient thin film solar cells: Influence of geometric interface engineering on light trapping, plasmonic losses and charge extraction

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Etienne Antoine Julien Moulin

An approach that models the fabrication and enables the characterization of randomly self-textured silicon thin film solar cells is developed and are compared to experimental results. The optical and electrical properties of the solar cells depend on the m ...

Charge Collection in Hybrid Perovskite Solar Cells: Relation to the Nanoscale Elemental Distribution

Christophe Ballif, Björn Niesen, Michael Elias Stückelberger, Jérémie Werner

Unveiling the correlation between elemental composition, Fermi-level splitting, and charge collection in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) when exposed to different environments is crucial to understanding the origin of defects. This will enable defect enginee ...

Comparison of amorphous silicon absorber materials: Kinetics of light-induced degradation

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Matthieu Despeisse, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Michael Elias Stückelberger, Yannick Samuel Riesen, Adrian Billet

We investigate the influence of the deposition parameters for intrinsic amorphous silicon absorber layers on light-induced degradation (LID) of thin-film silicon solar cells. The focus is on absorber layers with different bandgaps: on one side, solar cells ...

Quantification of Valleys of Randomly Textured Substrates as a Function of Opening Angle: Correlation to the Defect Density in Intrinsic nc-Si:H

Jan-Willem Alexander Schüttauf, Simon Hänni

Optical and electrical properties of hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si:H) solar cells are strongly influenced by the morphology of underlying substrates. By texturing the substrates, the photogenerated current of nc-Si:H solar cells can increase ...

Design of periodic nano- and macro-scale textures for high-performance thin-film multi-junction solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Etienne Antoine Julien Moulin

Surface textures in thin-film silicon multi-junction solar cells play an important role in gaining the photocurrent of the devices. In this paper, a design of the textures is carried out for the case of amorphous silicon/micro-crystalline silicon (a-Si:H/m ...
