Abstract
The objective of the research under this subcontract is to explore, identify, evaluate, and develop non-conventional photovoltaic technologies capable of making a breakthrough in the production of low-cost electricity from sunlight. The specific objectives are to 1) develop microwave glow-discharge parameters for the deposition of high-quality microcrystalline silicon (mc-Si:H) thin films at highrate, 2) characterize this microcrystalline material, and 3) fabricate high-efficiency microcrystalline nip solar cells.
