Amorphous silicon solar cell technology has evolved considerably
since the first amorphous silicon solar cells were made at RCA
Laboratories in 1974. Scien tists working in a number of
laboratories worldwide have developed improved alloys based on
hydrogenated amorphous silicon and microcrystalline silicon. Other
scientists have developed new methods for growing these thin films
while yet others have developed new photovoltaic (PV) device
structures with im proved conversion efficiencies. In the last two
years, several companies have constructed multi-megawatt
manufacturing plants that can produce large-area, multijunction
amorphous silicon PV modules. A growing number of people be lieve
that thin-film photovoltaics will be integrated into buildings on a
large scale in the next few decades and will be able to make a
major contribution to the world's energy needs. In this book, Ruud
E. I. Schropp and Miro Zeman provide an authoritative overview of
the current status of thin film solar cells based on amorphous and
microcrystalline silicon. They review the significant developments
that have occurred during the evolution of the technology and also
discuss the most im portant recent innovations in the deposition of
the materials, the understanding of the physics, and the
fabrication and modeling of the devices.
