This contribution reviews some of the latest achievements and challenges in thin-film silicon
photovoltaic (PV) technology based on amorphous and nanocrystalline silicon and their …

We investigated the influence of the pH value, precursor concentration (C), growth time and
temperature on the morphology of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures. The pH of the starting …

In this work, ZnO thin films with different thickness were prepared by sol–gel method on
glass substrates and the structural and optical properties of these films were studied by X …

Sputter deposited Al (1–x) ScxN thin films with a Sc content from x= 0 to 43 at% are
investigated by electron microscopy in order to study and explain the formation and growth …

The deposition of thin-film silicon solar cells on highly textured substrates results in
improved light trapping in the cell. However, the growth of silicon layers on rough substrates …

In the present study, we investigate the photocatalytic activity of ZnO thin films doped by
copper atoms in successive steps during the film growth by the atomic layer deposition …

To further lower production costs and increase conversion efficiency of thin‐film silicon solar
modules, challenges are the deposition of high‐quality microcrystalline silicon (μc‐Si: H) at …

Increasing the conductivity of polycrystalline zinc oxide films without impacting the
transparency is a key aspect in the race to find affordable and high quality material as …

Abstract Mg–Al co-doped ZnO (AMZO) thin films were deposited on quartz glass via sol–gel
spin coating method. The structural and optical properties of Mg–Al co-doped ZnO thin films …

A close-proximity atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (AP-CVD) reactor is
developed for synthesizing high quality multicomponent metal oxides for electronics. This …
