Solar has become the lowest cost electricity source in more and more locations globally. According to the latest report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the levelized cost of ...

Scientists from Australia and the United Kingdom have developed a novel method for constructing localized rear contacts on p-type silicon absorbers. The proposed process utilizes aluminum (Al) doped ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Doping, which can provide charge carriers to semiconductors, is an essential technology for semiconductors and devices, and it can be classified as n- and p-doping depending on ...

The new method involves dipping the conductive plastic into a special salt solution – a photocatalyst – and then illuminating it with light for a short time resulting in a p-doped conductive plastic ...

A team led by the Australian National University has investigated antimony (Sb)-doped Czochralski-grown silicon as an alternative n-type substrate for solar PV applications in a study that included ...

Engineers have created a means of vastly increasing the speed and efficiency of a key doping process for perovskite solar cells, one that also sequesters CO2. Perovskite solar cells have progressed in ...

Major processes in semiconductor wafer fabrication: 1) wafer preparation, 2) pattern transfer, 3) doping, 4) deposition, 5) etching, and 6) packaging. The process of creating semiconductors can be ...

As countries around the world strive to reduce their carbon footprints and seek sustainable energy resources, the solar energy industry has experienced significant growth. Among the diverse process ...
