Perspective on Photovltaic Amorphous Silicon

    Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

    Abstract

    Research on amorphous silicon photovoltaics has been funded by the United States Department of Energy since the late 1970s. This paper examines how much has been spent and what that funding has accomplished in the United States. The government funding for amorphous silicon has not only helped establish a photovoltaics industry, but has also helped to establish technologies such as amorphoussilicon thin-film transistors and optical sensors.
