Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si: H) has been used for decades—doped and as
intrinsic absorber layers—in thin-film silicon solar cells. Whereas their effiency was improved …

This review outlines, in great detail, the history of the phenomenon of ultrasonic nebulization
of liquids since the discovery of such an effect by Michael Faraday and the explanation of …

Several amorphous silicon (a-Si: H) deposition conditions have been reported to produce
films that degrade least under light soaking when incorporated into a-Si: H solar cells …

The hot-wire chemical vapor deposition technique was used for the deposition of
amorphous and microcrystalline silicon. The best microcrystalline silicon solar cells were …

This article reviews the research and development of a-Si: H and μc-Si: H based solar cells
by using hot wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD). The groups involved and the present …

Nanocrystalline cubic silicon carbide (nc-3C-SiC) thin films were prepared by hot-wire
chemical vapor deposition from SiH4/CH4/H2 gases and influences of filament-to-substrate …

By implementing nanostructure in multiband-gap proto-Si/proto-SiGe/nc-Si: H triple junction
n–i–p solar cells, a considerable improvement in performance has been achieved. The …

Hot Wire CVD (also called Catalytic CVD or initiated CVD) is an elegant low pressure
deposition technique for the deposition of functional films, both inorganic and organic, based …

We prepared hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide thin films using SiH4, CH4 and H2
gases by the hot-wire chemical vapor deposition method and investigated the influence of …

B-doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbon (a-Si1− xCx: H) films have been prepared
by hot-wire CVD (HWCVD) using SiH3CH3 as the carbon source gas. The optical bandgap …
