Amorphous silicon technology book

This volume, the latest in a series on amorphous silicon science and devices, reflects the increasing range of applications for a-Si technology. Highlighted are recent advances in solar cells incorporating microcrystalline silicon absorber layers, a new manufacturing facility for amorphous-silicon-based tandem solar cells, higher resolution and improved visibility in active-matrix liquid crystal displays, and improvements in the deposition rate of amorphous silicon transistors. Other topics include thin-film transistors and flat panel displays; sensors, detectors, and novel devices; device physics; studies of growth processes; hydrogen and the structure of a-Si:H; defects and equilibrium in a-Si:H; fundamental issues in defect processes; transport and recombination processes; and thin films for photovoltaic and related device applications.
