Thin-Film Silicon Photovoltaics: Characterization of Thin-Film Deposition and Analysis of Enhanced Light Trapping from Scattering Nanoparticle Arrays

Thin-film solar cells have the potential to significantly decrease the cost of a finished device by cutting materials cost, and the characteristics of carrier transport through a thin film can concurrently increase the device performance over that of a wafer-based cell while tolerating a higher defe...
