Nanostructured Silicon-Based Films for Photovoltaics: Recent Progresses and Perspectives
The most recent progresses for harvesting the solar radiation by 3rd generation all-silicon thinfilm photovoltaic cells are reviewed. The attention is focused on the effects on the electrical and optical properties of the matrix in which Silicon nano-crystals are embedded. The effects
on the morphology of the detailed process parameters, such as the annealing method the film undergoes and recent insights about the issue of doping of this kind of material are also discussed.
