Relationship between average slope of textured substrate and poly-Si thin film solar cells performance

Morphology and Conductivity Characteristics of Polycrystalline Silicon Thin Film Deposited by Plasma-Enhanced Vapor Deposition in Textured Substrate

“…Reduce the crystallinity implies that more the amorphous phase occurred in poly-Si layer, increase the amorphous phase make increasing the conductivity, this can explain the average current decrease in highly textured substrate. Another report confirms this that poly-Si that deposited in highly textured substrate occurs collisions between the columnar crystal with neighbor grains, and then creates a grain boundary and related defects [6,8,9,12,13,15]…”

Comparative Study of Polarization‐Dependent Conversion Efficiency of GaAs and Si Solar Cells at Oblique Incident Angles Using Surface DLAR Coating of MgF2/ZnSe

“…Since the surface reflectivity is one of the bottlenecks that limits the conversion efficiency of solar cells, tremendous efforts have been made to reduce the reflectance by using, surface roughening, [ 12 ] periodic surface texturing, [ 13 ] substrate texturing, [ 14 ] surface nanowire synthesis, [ 15 ] and the design of surface plasmons [ 16,17 ] to trap photons in the solar cells. In the literature, there have only been a few reports on angle dependent light absorption behaviors.…”

High Photoluminescence Spectroscopy on High Purity ZnO Crystal Growth by Electric Current Heating Method

“…The advantage of this method is by supplying with current, various types of crystal structure can be formed, such as whiskers, tetrapods, hexagonal, hollow and double hollow prisms [6]. Powder metallurgy root is used to fabricate the ceramic bar [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. This is due to its simplicity of the basic requirements of the experiment setup, lower cost of ZnO-based devices can be fabricated.…”
