  • Abstract
    For the development of third generation Si solar cell with high conversion efficiency over 15% and low manufacturing cost, four thin film nanotechnologies have been proposed, including a photovoltaic material system of SixGe1-x-Si-SiyC1-y with multiple bandgaps, a very dense array of Si-based quantum-dots with UV-to-NIR opto-electronic response, surface plasmonic metal nano-particles with light trapping effect, and ZnO nanowires with anti-reflection function.
