Researchers in Germany Create Cost-effective Solar Cell Deposition Method
Scientists led by the Technical University of Ilmenau in Germany assert that if silicon dioxide (SiO2) films are transferred at space temperature without intricate vacuum systems, they can be an excellent, cost-effective prospect for usage in commercial c-Si solar cell assembly line. SiO2 deposition is utilized as a passivation layer or a protective layer in different kinds of silicon PV cells.
