Abstract:
This research project is focused on the process optimisation and optical enhancement of the hydrogenated amorphous silicon solar cell design, achieved by the incorporation of light scattering plasmonic nano-particles. These treatments consist of a very thin layer of finely tuned silver metal-island films, which preferentially scatter light within a wavelength range tailored to the device absorption characteristic. This serves to increase the optical path length without the need for surface texturing of the semiconductor material. Within this study, the PECVD process is used to explore the para

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to explore the optical properties of localized surface plasmon resonance sustained by self-assembled metallic nanoparticles (NPs) for the light trapping application in thin lm photovoltaics (PV). Photovoltaics is able provide safe and clean electricity of the future, inparticular, thin lms solar cells have a potential to increase the competitiveness of PV through a substantial reduction of the manufacturing cost. However, an essential step it to develop an e cient, reliable and inexpensive light trapping scheme in order to maximize absorption of the near-infrare

Abstract:
Organic solar cells (OSCs) have recently attracted considerable research interest. However, there is a mismatch between their optical absorption length and charge transport scale. Attempts to optimize both the optical and electrical properties of the photoactive layer of OSCs have inevitably resulted in demands for rationally designed device architecture. Plasmonic nanostructures have recently been introduced into solar cells to achieve highly efficient light harvesting. The remaining challenge is to improve OSC performance using plasmonic nanotechnology, a challenge taken up by the research r

Abstract:
This thesis explores the use of plasmonic nanovoids for enhancing the efficiency of thin-film solar cells. Devices are fabricated inside plasmonically resonant nanostructures, demonstrating a new class of plasmonic photovoltaics. Novel cell geometries are developed for both organic and amorphous silicon solar cell materials. An external-quantum efficency rig was set up to allow simultaneous microscope access and micrometer-precision probe-tip control for optoelectronic characterisation of photovoltaic devices. An experimental setup for angle-resolved re ectance was extended to allow broadband

Abstract:
On constate une forte demande mondiale d' énergie propre et renouvelable en raison de la consommation rapide des combustibles fossiles non renouvelables et l'effet de serre qui en résulte. Une solution prometteuse pour produire une énergie propre et renouvelable est d'utiliser des cellules solaires pour convertir l' énergie solaire directement en électricité. Comparativement à leurs homologues inorganiques, les cellules solaires organiques (OSCs) sont maintenant intensivement étudiées en raison des avantages tels que le poids léger, la flexibilité, la compatibilité avec les procédés de fabrica

Part II is the main part and was partly conducted in industry, at ScanWafer ASA’s plant no.2 in Glomfjord.</p><p>The large growth in the Photo Voltaic industry necessitates a dedicated feedstock for this industry, a socalled Solar Grade (SoG) feedstock, since the currently used feedstock rejects from the electronic industry can not cover the demand.

Abstract:
Master of Science<br>Department of Chemistry<br>Jun Li<br>With the worldly consumption of energy continually increasing and the main source of this energy, fossil fuels, slowly being depleted, the need for alternate sources of energy is becoming more and more pertinent. One promising approach for an alternate method of producing energy is using solar cells to convert sunlight into electrical energy through photovoltaic processes. Currently, the most widely commercialized solar cell is based on a single p-n junction with silicon. Silicon solar cells are able to obtain high efficiencies but the
