Abstract:A high density of silicon nanowires for solar cell applications was fabricated on a single crystalline silicon wafer, using low eutectic temperature metal catalysts namely; gallium, indium, tin and bismuth. The use of silicon nanowires is exploited for light trapping with an aim to enhance the efficiency of solar cells. Additionally, we have optimised the deposition parameters so that there is merely deposition of amorphous silicon along with the growth of silicon nanowires. Thus, it may improve the stability … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
