APODOSIS

"Novel Anti-Reflective Coatings and Metal Contacts for the Optimization of the PhotoVoltaic Cell Efficiency"

IPE Cyprus (2002 - 2005)
Coordination by LTFN
AUTh Sci. Responsible: Prof. S. Logothetidis

The project APODOSIS is focused towards the reduction of the manufacture cost of integrated photovoltaic (PV) systems and to the increase of their yield, importing new innovative transparent reflective and metal coatings, grown with Physical Vapour Deposition techniques (magnetron sputtering - MS and electron beam evaporation - EBE). It will be realized the investigation of the possibility of production of a integrated cell - from the p-n junction (which is forecasted to be developed in the form of a-Si:H thin films) up to the reflective and metal coatings - with the exclusive use of only one growth technique (MS) and the determination of in-line production process.
