摘要
Approximately half the cost of a finished crystalline silicon solar module is due to the silicon itself. Combining this fact with a high-efficiency potential makes thin-film crystalline silicon solar cells a growing research area. This paper, written in two parts, aims to outline world-wide research on this topic. The subject has been divided into techniques which use native substrates and techniques which use foreign substrates. Light trapping, vapour- and liquid-phase deposition techniques, cell fabrication and some general considerations are also discussed with reference to thin-film cells. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
