    摘要: A nanowire field effect junction diode constructed on an insulating transparent substrate that allows form(s) of radiation such as visual light, ultraviolet radiation; or infrared radiation to pass. A nanowire is disposed on the insulating transparent substrate. An anode is connected to a first end of the nanowire and a cathode is connected to the second end of the nanowire. An oxide layer covers the nanowire. A first conducting gate is disposed on top of the oxide layer adjacent with a non-zero separation to the anode. A second conducting gate is disposed on top of the oxide layer adjacent with a non-zero separation to the cathode and adjacent with a non-zero separation the first conducting gate. A controllable PN junction may be dynamically formed along the nanowire channel by applying opposite gate voltages. Radiation striking the nanowire through the substrate creates a current the anode and cathode.

    摘要: The present invention relates to polysilicon emitter solar cells, and more particularly to polysilicon emitter solar cells with hyperabrupt junctions, and methods for making such solar cells. According to one aspect, a polysilicon emitter solar cell according to the invention includes a nitrided tunnel insulator. The nitridation prevents boron diffusion, enabling a hyperabrupt junction for a p-poly on n-Si device. According to another aspect, a nitrided oxide (DPN) is used in a tunnel oxide layer of a MIS solar cell structure. The DPN layer minimizes plasma damage, resulting in improved interface properties. An overlying polysilicon emitter can then provide a low sheet resistance emitter without heavy doping effects in the substrate, excess recombination, or absorption, and is a significant improvement over a conventional diffused emitter or TCO. According to another aspect, the invention includes a method for making a solar cell structure that is functionally equivalent to a selective emitter, but without the requirement for multiple diffusions, long diffusions, aligned lithography, or fine contact holes.
