Light Absorption Enhancement of Silicon-Based Photovoltaic Devices with Multiple Bandgap Structures of Porous Silicon
Porous-silicon (PS) multi-layered structures with three stacked PS layers of different porosity were prepared on silicon (Si) substrates by successively tuning the electrochemical-etching parameters in an anodization process. The three PS layers have different optical bandgap energy and construct a triple-layered PS (TLPS) structure with multiple bandgap energy. Photovoltaic devices were fabric...
متن کاملCharacteristics of silicon nanocrystals for photovoltaic applications
Over the last decade the progress in amorphous and nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si) for photovoltaic applications received significant interest in science and technology.Advances in the understanding of these novel materials and their properties are growing rapidly. In order to realise nc-Si in the solar cell, a thicker intrinsic layer is required. Due to the indirect band gap in the crystallite...
متن کاملAbove-bandgap voltages from ferroelectric photovoltaic devices.
In conventional solid-state photovoltaics, electron-hole pairs are created by light absorption in a semiconductor and separated by the electric field spaning a micrometre-thick depletion region. The maximum voltage these devices can produce is equal to the semiconductor electronic bandgap. Here, we report the discovery of a fundamentally different mechanism for photovoltaic charge separation, w...
متن کاملSilicon MEMS for Photonic Bandgap Devices
An optical filter is presented based on lateral beam propagation between input and output fibers, through a 1dimensional silicon photonic bandgap (PBG) structure. Optical modelling of the device shows that a very high degree of verticality is needed for the PBG surfaces, and a fabrication technique is described by which these can be obtained, using a combination of wet and dry silicon etching s...
متن کاملPhotovoltaic devices employing ternary PbSxSe1-x nanocrystals.
We report solar cells based on highly confined nanocrystals of the ternary compound PbS(x)Se(1-x). Crystalline, monodisperse alloyed nanocrystals are obtained using a one-pot, hot injection reaction. Rutherford back scattering and energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy suggest that the S and Se anions are uniformly distributed in the alloy nanoparticles. Photovoltaic devices made usin...
