This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 1012 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the exchange of information on the physics and application of amorphous and microcrystalline silicon and presents exciting new developments. Significant progress has been made in the high- or even ultra-high-rate deposition of device-quality amorphous and microcrystalline silicon, in in-situ growth characterization techniques and in state-of-the-art computer modeling of deposition processes. These issues are especially important for the successful future commercialization of silicon thin-film devices. The latest results concerning silicon thin-film solar cells are highlighted. Active matrix arrays for displays or sensors continue to be the second major application of thin silicon films, and again much progress has been made in that area. Topics include: nucleation and growth; novel concepts; hot-wire CVD; high-rate deposition; growth of silicon and silicon-alloy thin films; crystallization; silicon-based alloys; structural properties of heterogeneous silicon films; dopants and impurities; amorphous and silicon solar cells; metastability; hydrogen and metastability; transport in µc-Si; thin-film transistors; hydrogenation and oxidation; defects and defect spectroscopy; structural and electronic properties of thin silicon films; heterojunctions; TFTs and sensors; amorphous-to-microcrystalline transition and structural relaxation and diffusion.

This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 1110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 2001, provides an international forum to exchange research results on topics ranging from silicon thin-film physics and chemistry, to novel device design and engineering. It covers all aspects of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) science and technology, and is the fourth consecutive volume in the series to cover heterogeneous silicon film materials, including the nanocrystalline, microcrystalline, and polycrystalline films. A special 'Millennium Session' celebrating the most important achievements of the last three decades in the field of amorphous and microcrystalline silicon thins films, is featured. Topics include: amorphous film growth and properties; nanocrystalline/microcrystalline film growth and properties; ordering, ordering transitions and photocrystalline films: polycrystalline films, epitaxial growth and properties; catalytic/hot-wire CVD - amorphous to polycrystalline films; implantation, annealing and crystallization; structure and hydrogen; band, band tails and defect states; metastability and equilibration; thin-film transistors, displays and imagers; thin-film solar cells and solar-cell structures; amorphous silicon detectors and other devices; and heterogeneous silicon transport and device applications.

This book was released on 2003-11-12 with total page 824 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amorphous silicon technology has been the subject of symposia every year since 1984. This remarkable longevity is due to the continuous emergence of new scientific questions and new technological challenges for silicon thin films. Earlier there was a strong emphasis on methods to achieve high deposition rates using plasma or hot-wire chemical vapor deposition, and on the properties and applications of nanocrystalline silicon films, which for example have been incorporated into stacked a-Si:H/nc-Si:H solar cells. The papers appearing in this book are sorted under six chapter headings on the basis of subject matter. Chapter I is concerned with amorphous network structures, electronic metastability, defects, and photoluminescence. Chapter II focuses on thin-film transistors and imager arrays. Chapter III covers solar cells. Chapter IV addresses growth mechanisms, hot-filament CVD, and nc-Si:H growth. Chapter V contains all remaining topics in film growth, especially those related to devices. Finally, Chapter VI focuses on crystallized film.

This book was released on 2004-09-03 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book celebrates 20 years of MRS symposia on the topic of amorphous silicon. Contributors showed that the simplified theories developed to explain the limited experimental information available in the early eighties have spurred more sophisticated experimentation - either refining the early understanding or making it irrelevant. The differences of opinion that continue to exist and emerge are probably the hallmark of the amazing vitality of this field. Applications range from 'mature' thin-film transistors, solar cells and image sensors, to the 'emerging' possibility of erbium-doped nanocrystalline silicon-based materials for lasers and amorphous silicon quantum dots for luminescent devices. The book discusses material characterization, growth processes and devices. Each chapter is further subdivided into sections that group papers around common themes. Topics include: nanomaterials; electronic structure; metastable effects; understanding of growth processes; laser-induced crystallization; metal-induced crystallization; other growth techniques; newer devices; solar cells and thin-film transistors.

This book was released on 2001-09-20 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer simulations of materials are rapidly moving from the level of fundamental studies into the domain of industrial research and development tools. Papers in this book provide an extensive review of advances in materials theory and modeling by addressing new frontiers for theoretical and computational research on real materials, identifying crucial areas where experimental studies have or can be complemented by theory and simulation, and establishing a blueprint for further development of multiscale methods in computational materials science. A number of algorithms for boosting the simulation of time scale of atomistic systems have been introduced but they do not quite answer the need for a solid and widely applicable method. Topics include: mechanical properties, fracture and plasticity; radiation-matter interactions; polymers and macromolecules; multiresolution and multiscale methods - microstructural evolution; new methods for materials simulation; multi-time-scale methods and applications and large-scale ab initio calculations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on materials issues related to Cu(In,Ga)(Se,S)2 and CdTe-based polycrystalline thin-film photovoltaic solar cells and related oxides and chalcogenides. Phase equilibrium and thermochemical kinetic aspects of the absorber layer formation of CdTe and Cu(In,Ga)(Se,S)2 are emphasized and several papers on micro-analytical analysis report on detailed structural properties of thin films. The use of flexible plastic or metal foil substrates as an alternative to glass is addressed in terms of solar-cell performance and limitations imposed by the nature of the substrates. Properties of defects and interfaces in CdTe and CIGSS are highlighted using electrical, optical, and micro-analytical tools. While film properties are correlated to device physics, controversy still exists on the detailed operation of both CdTe and CIGSS devices. Topics include: materials and synthesis; thin films on alternate substrates; defects; growth and junction formation; surfaces and interfaces and film and device characterization.
