Three-layer structures of thick (>5 μm) films of nanosized titanium dioxide, zirconium dioxide, and carbon have been screen-printed on a semi-prodn. level for use in photosensitized photovoltaic devices. The films have been characterized using SEM, x-ray d ...
A novel mechanical structure design with reduced deflection offset is reported. This design offers a batch processing solution to a well-known problem in the fabrication of very thin crystalline silicon structures, that is initial bending due to anchoring ...
In microcrystalline hydrogenated silicon (μc-Si:H), the drift mobility dependencies of holes on electric field and temperature have been measured by using a method of equilibrium charge extraction by linearly increasing voltage. At room temperature the est ...
new concept of a solar cell powering with integrated Global Positioning System (GPS) for microrobots is proposed. The main idea is to use a projector to transfer energy and to provide global positioning information to the robots that are equipped with mult ...
We carry out ion scattering simulations to investigate the nature of the transition region at the Si(100)-SiO2 interface. Ion scattering experiments performed in the channeling geometry provide us with a genuine interfacial property, the excess Si yield, r ...
An enhanced optical absorption, compared to crystalline silicon, was observed in the above gap region together with very low defect-connected absorption in microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) prepared by very high frequency glow discharge technique at 70 MH ...
The compensation of the dangling-bond space charge in amorphous silicon p-i-n solar cells by graded, low-level doping in the intrinsic layer is discussed and demonstrated experimentally. Carrier collection in p-i-n cells without doping indicates that the d ...
Thin, hydrogenated silicon and carbon containing films have been deposited by the siliconization procedure on targets made from some metal alloys, pure metals, graphite and Si single crystal. The deposits were investigated by electron microprobe and surfac ...
The advantages and limitations of photovoltaic solar modules for energy generation are reviewed with their operation principles and physical efficiency limits. Although the main materials currently used or investigated and the associated fabrication techno ...
