Recent advances and remaining challenges in thin-film silicon photovoltaic technology
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 alloys. We address material and device developments, including (i) improved plasma deposition processes to achieve high-quality dense absorber materials; (ii) absorber layers based on silicon tetrafluoride, which lead...
متن کاملSilicon Spintronics: Recent Advances and Challenges
The extraordinary increase in performance of integrated circuits has been continuously supported by the uninterrupted miniaturization of MOSFETs, electronic components, and interconnects. Among the most crucial technological changes lately adopted by the semiconductor industry is the introduction of a new type of multi-gate three-dimensional (3D) transistors [1]. With foreseeable saturation of ...
متن کاملPhotonic Systems for Crystalline Silicon and Thin-Film Photovoltaic Manufacturing
In this chapter, we will discuss the impact that photonics have on photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing. The broad field of photonics is now commonly thought to encompass classical optics (Hecht, 2001), nanophotonics (Joannopoulos et al., 2007), and metamaterials (Cai and Shalaev, 2009). Over the last few decades, photonic technology has become an increasingly integral part of PV manufacturing, both...
متن کاملRecent Advances and Remaining Challenges for Social Science Research
During the past two decades, a set of systematic comparative case analysis techniques has been developing at a steady pace. During the last few years especially, the main initial technique, qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), has been complemented by other related methods and techniques. The purpose of this article is to critically assess some main recent developments in this field. QCA and...
متن کاملSingle-cell transcriptome sequencing: recent advances and remaining challenges
Single-cell RNA-sequencing methods are now robust and economically practical and are becoming a powerful tool for high-throughput, high-resolution transcriptomic analysis of cell states and dynamics. Single-cell approaches circumvent the averaging artifacts associated with traditional bulk population data, yielding new insights into the cellular diversity underlying superficially homogeneous po...
