Research Status Of Silicon-based Thin Film Solar Cells In Nankai University

摘要

This paper reviews the development of silicon-based thin films in Nankai University. It can be divided into the following research areas: (1) light arrangement for wide utilizing the solar energy: textural transparent conductive oxide (TCO) including p-type ZnO; (2) silicon-based thin film solar cells including amorphous silicon and microcrystalline silicon; (3) plasma diagnostic and simulation for effectively controlling deposition conditions; (4) one example explored on new concept of next generation solar cells: up-conversion for a-Si solar cells.
