During the last two decades, the Institute of Microtechnology (IMT) has contributed in two important fields to future thin-film silicon solar cell processing and design: (1) In 1987, IMT introduced the so-called "very high frequency glow discharge (VHF-GD) ...
Microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) layers deposited by the very high-frequency-glow discharge technique at a radio-frequency excitation of 70 MHz are observed to be basically slightly 〈n〉 type. By doping (so-called]] microdoping") with boron in the gas pha ...
The effects of background n- and p-type doping on Zn diffusion in GaAs/AlGaAs multilayered structures are investigated by secondary-ion-mass spectrometry and photoluminescence measurements. Zn diffusions are performed at 575 degrees C into Si-doped, Be-dop ...
The diffusion of Mn, Cr, and Ti in single crystalline copper was investigated in the temperature range between 582 and 800 K, 639 and 829 It and 621 and 747 K, respectively. Ion beam sputtering in combination with secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) was ...
Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) imaging is employed to characterize the surface of patterned noble metal (Pt) and titania (TiO2) thin films deposited on oxidized silicon wafers. ToF-SIMS is used to follow the different process ste ...
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 ...
