摘要: The electrical output efficiency of a photovoltaic thermal system can be restored from degradation due to light exposure by annealing a photovoltaic thermal cell at an elevated temperature. The elevated temperature at the photovoltaic thermal cell can be provided by redirecting the flow of a heat exchange fluid to bypass a heat exchanger unit. A boiler unit may be employed to provide additional heating of the heat exchange fluid during the anneal. Further, a variable configuration lid can be provided over a front surface of the photovoltaic thermal cell to control ventilation over the front surface. During the anneal, the position of the variable configuration lid can be set so as to trap heat above the front surface and to elevate the anneal temperature further.

摘要: A dielectric material layer is formed on a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate including a top semiconductor layer containing a first semiconductor material. An opening is formed within the dielectric material layer, and a trench is formed in the top semiconductor layer within the area of the opening by an etch. A second semiconductor material is deposited to a height above the top surface of the top semiconductor layer employing a selective epitaxy process. Another dielectric material layer can be deposited, and another trench can be formed in the top semiconductor layer. Another semiconductor material can be deposited to a different height employing another selective epitaxy process. The various semiconductor material portions can be patterned to form semiconductor fins having different heights and/or different compositions.

摘要: A photovoltaic device and method include forming a plurality of pillar structures in a substrate, forming a first electrode layer on the pillar structures and forming a continuous photovoltaic stack including an N-type layer, a P-type layer and an intrinsic layer on the first electrode. A second electrode layer is deposited over the photovoltaic stack such that gaps or fissures occur in the second electrode layer between the pillar structures. The second electrode layer is wet etched to open up the gaps or fissures and reduce the second electrode layer to form a three-dimensional electrode of substantially uniform thickness over the photovoltaic stack.

摘要: A device and method for fabricating a photovoltaic device includes forming a double layer transparent conductive oxide on a transparent substrate. The double layer transparent conductive oxide includes forming a doped electrode layer on the substrate, and forming a buffer layer on the doped electrode layer.
