A new production method could allow for larger and more flexible solar panels, according to Perm State University scientists. The new process takes place under high pressure and does not require plasma to produce semiconductors, unlike conventional methods. This would also be accompanied by a huge drop in costs to produce them. Typically, chemical vapour deposition is used to produce thin silicon semiconductors, but this requires the use of large, expensive reactors that produce and store plasma.
