The three-dimensional molded interconnected device (3D-MID) has received considerable attention because of the growing demand for greater functionality and miniaturization of electronic parts. Polymer based composite are the primary choice to be used as substrate. These materials enable flexibility in production from macro to micro-MID products, high fracture toughness when subjected to mechanical loading, and they are lightweight. This survey proposes a detailed review of different types of 3D-MID modules, also presents the requirement criteria for manufacture a polymer substrate and the main surface modification techniques used to enhance the polymer substrate. The findings presented here allow to fundamentally understand the concept of 3D-MID, which can be used to manufacture a novel polymer composite substrate.

“…Silicon (Si) is the most widely employed material for SC fabrication. It has become convenient for the generation of electron-hole pairs of the depletion region in the crystal to move up and down to opposite polarities, creating a stronger electric field when exposed to light rather than vibrating in place and generating heat [7][8]. However, the process of developing or cultivating large crystals is very expensive due to the difficulty in growing them.…”

This study explores the effect of temperature on different characteristics of Solar Cells (SC) composed of a structured III-V arsenide group. The temperature dependence of the SC characteristics was investigated numerically and by simulation. In both approaches, each characteristic was compared with a conventional Si SC. InAs showed superior stability and lower temperature sensitivity, as it has a negligible decrease of 0.098 eV in the energy bandgap, while the energy bandgaps of Si, AlAs, and GaAs are 0.129, 0.186, and 0.200 eV, respectively. Moreover, with a decay rate of 81.911 mV/°K, InAs exhibited the lowest temperature sensitivity in open-circuit voltage. InAs additionally demonstrated the least increase in degradation rate, while the SC power output is still a cause of concern. AlAs, Si, and GaAs had a total accumulative gradient change of 0.162, 0.136, and 0.034% in the degradation rate, respectively, while InAs showcased the highest stability by displaying a change of only 0.008%. A comparative analysis illustrated that among these III-V arsenide compounds, InAs had a rock-bottom sensitivity to temperature changes and better temperature stability in both numerical and simulation approaches.

“…For example, tandem solar cells include absorber layers with different bandgaps for absorbing different regions of the spectrum [4], optimizing the conversion efficiency in each region. Similarly, the use of Luminescent Down-Shifting (LDS) layers allows the modification of the photon flux density to be absorbed by the device, so that the modified spectrum is converted into electrical power with an improved efficiency [5][6][7]. This option has been one of the less explored, although experimental and theoretical reports have shown that it may increase efficiency significantly [8].…”

Estimating the performance of solar cells with luminescent down-shifting layers

Technological developments for improving the performance of conventional solar cells have become a topic of great interest in recent years. For instance, solar concentrators, new anti-reflective coatings, and Luminescent Down-Shifting Layers (LDS), among different techniques have been used in the past. The latter is an attractive option because an LDS layer has the property of increasing the photon flux density in the appropriate wavelength range on top of a cell device with the possibility of increasing the photo-current density. Then, in this work we focus on the development of a theoretical model to determine the cell´s illumination current density, considering the modified solar spectrum, and taking in account the modified spectral reflectance and transmittance at the upper layers when an optimized LDS layer is inserted on a solar cell. The correct selection of such a layer for a specific solar cell would increase its performance due to the enhanced photon density in the absorption region for which the solar cell has the highest quantum efficiency. As an example, it is shown that a Lu3Al5O12:Ce3+ layer on top of a CdTe solar cell might cause an efficiency increase of around 21%.
