Improvement of optical transmittance and electrical properties for the Si quantum dot-embedded ZnO thin film
A Si quantum dot (QD)-embedded ZnO thin film is successfully fabricated on a p-type Si substrate using a ZnO/Si multilayer structure. Its optical transmittance is largely improved when increasing the annealing temperature, owing to the phase transformation from amorphous to nanocrystalline Si QDs embedded in the ZnO matrix. The sample annealed at 700°C exhibits not only high optical transmittan...
متن کاملThin Flexible Crystalline Silicon for Photovoltaics
Preliminary results of a Silicon-On-Insulator to polymer transfer technique capable of producing large area flexible crystalline silicon layer of thicknesses between 0.4 and 2.0 μm, are presented. Formation of a shallow pn junction using ion implantation of Phosphorus was confirmed through capacitance-voltage measurements with further analysis of these results revealing a sharp junction definit...
متن کاملFlexible carbon nanotube/mono-crystalline Si thin-film solar cells
Flexible heterojunction solar cells were fabricated from carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and mono-crystalline Si thin films at room temperature. The Si thin films with thickness less than 50 μm are prepared by chemically etching Si wafer in a KOH solution. The initial efficiency of the thin-film solar cell varies from approximately 3% to 5%. After doping with a few drops of 1 M HNO3, the efficiency inc...
متن کاملOptimization of amorphous silicon thin film solar cells for flexible photovoltaics
We investigate amorphous silicon a-Si:H thin film solar cells in the n-i-p or substrate configuration that allows the use of nontransparent and flexible substrates such as metal or plastic foils such as polyethylene-naphtalate PEN . A substrate texture is used to scatter the light at each interface, which increases the light trapping in the active layer. In the first part, we investigate the re...
