Description

This course provides a strong practical component to students interested in photovoltaic devices. Students will design and fabricate buried contact silicon solar cells using the laboratory facilities of the Centre for Photovoltaic Engineering. Thus, training in semiconductor device fabrication will be a significant component of this course. Another significant component of the course will be device electrical and optical characterisation, including the major solar cell measurement and analysis techniques. Students will also simulate their working solar cells on PC-1D in order to extract key device parameters, and use their model to optimise solar cell efficiency.
