Fundamental Understanding and Development of Low-Cost, High-Efficiency SiliconSolar Cells. Final Progress Report: September 1999-June 2000

摘要

The overall objectives of this program are (1) to develop rapid and low-costprocesses for manufacturing that can improve yield, throughput, and performance of silicon photovoltaic devices, (2) to design and fabricate high-efficiency solar cells on promising low-cost materials, and (3) to improve the fundamental understanding of advanced photovoltaic devices. Several rapid and potentially low-cost technologies are described in this report that were developed and applied toward the fabrication of high-efficiency silicon solar cells.
