Thin-film solar cells are a type of solar cell made by depositing one or more thin layers (thin films or TFs) of photovoltaic material onto a substrate, such as glass, plastic or metal. Thin-film solar cells are typically a few nanometers (nm) to a few microns (μm) thick–much thinner than the wafers used in conventional crystalline silicon (c-Si) based solar cells, which can be up to 200 μm thick. Thi

Review of Layer Transfer Processes for Crystalline Thin-Film

Layer transfer processes provide a new and largely unexplored route for the fabrication of highly efficient monocrystalline thin-film Si solar cells. Monocrystalline Si wafers serve as a substrate for epitaxial growth. A special surface conditioning of the substrate permits the transfer of a thin epitaxial film to an arbitrary carrier substrate.
