Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thin-film solar cells are either emerging or about to emerge from the research laboratory to become commercially available devices finding practical various applications. Currently no textbook outlining the basic theoretical background, methods of fabrication and applications currently exist. Thus, this book aims to present for the first time an in-depth overview of this topic covering a broad range of thin-film solar cell technologies including both organic and inorganic materials, presented in a systematic fashion, by the scientific leaders in the respective domains. It covers a broad range of related topics, from physical principles to design, fabrication, characterization, and applications of novel photovoltaic devices.

This book was released on 2002-10-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book on amorphous silicon technology shows a trend towards technologies based on amorphous and heterogeneous silicon (solar cells, TFTs, imaging arrays, sensors, etc.) and brings together researchers from around the world to share their expanding expertise. The book contains eleven chapters and focuses on basic mechanisms of growth (as well as new approaches to film growth); hot wire, CVD-produced amorphous and microcrystalline films and related subjects of film crystallization and recrystallization; the electronic structure and transport properties of silicon-based thin films are discussed, together with hydrogen microstructure and metastability. Silicon nitride, four on alloys with germanium, and two dealing predominantly with silicon carbide are looked at. There is also focus on photovoltaic devices based on either amorphous or microcrystalline (or mixed phase) materials. It also offers a look at thin-film transistors, as well as related types of imaging and sensing arrays and there are papers on novel device structures and new types of technologies being developed using amorphous/heterogeneous thin film, silicon-based materials.

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.
Download or read book Amorphous and Heterogeneous Silicon Thin Films Fundamentals to Devices 1999 Volume 557 written by Howard M. Branz and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-12-17 with total page 914 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applications requiring large-area semiconductor coverage rely increasingly on amorphous and heterogeneous silicon materials because they can be deposited at low cost on a variety of substrates. This volume, first published in 1999, covers the range from fundamental research to the device applications of these materials. A special session on medium-range order is featured, and confirms the belief that ordering correlates with the electronic quality of a-Si:H films. Important experimental observations on metastable effects in a-Si:H are also reported, as are devices and processing strategies. Topics include: growth and properties; high-rate deposition; recrystallization, amorphization and porous silicon; ordering and hydrogen; metastability; defects, band tails and transport; heterogeneous materials and devices; thin-film transistors and displays; solar cells; and detectors, imagers and other devices.

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.

Download or read book Handbook of the Physics of Thin Film Solar Cells written by Karl W. Böer and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-04-23 with total page 893 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook is a compendium giving a comprehensive description of the basics of semiconductor physics relevant to the design and analysis of thin film solar cell materials. It starts from the basics of material science, describing the material and its growth, defect and electrical properties, the basics of its interaction with photons and the involved statistics, proceeding to space charge effects in semiconductors and pn-junctions. Most attention is given to analyze homo- and hetero-junction solar cells using various models and applying the field-of-direction analysis for discussing current voltage characteristics, and helping to discover the involvement of high-field effects in solar cells. The comprehensive coverage of the main topics of - and relating to - solar cells with extensive reference to literature helps scientists and engineers at all levels to reach a better understanding and improvement of solar cell properties and their production. The author is one of the founders of thin film solar cell research.

This book was released on 2001-09-20 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant portion of these papers from a winter 2000 symposium examine materials and devices at the nano-scale, with work on self- organized structures as well as nano-patterned thin-film structures. Materials research in three-, two-, one-, and zero-dimensional objects is addressed. Other major themes include pattern formation on surfaces, magnetism in films, thin film nucleation and alloy formation, and diffusion and morphological evolution of surfaces and thin films. Quantum dots and quantum size effects, metal/silicon and germanium/silicon epitaxy, metal on semiconductor and semiconductor thin films, and semiconductor epitaxy are also discussed.
