Heteroepitaxial reflector for the fabrication of Si thin film photovoltaic devices

Thin film crystalline Si diodes are a viable solution to the goal of fabricating economical photovoltaic (PV) cells. A functional, light trapping, thin film PV was fabricated with a heteroepitaxial (YSZ) reflecting layer which also served as a complaint layer for the growth of crystalline Si or SiGe...
