Description

This course is offered to undergraduate students as an introduction to photovoltaic materials processing. It is essential for students who desire to specialize in photovoltaic device fabrication, technology development or research. The course covers the basics of photovoltaic materials technology such as silicon, III-V, II-VI and organic materials. The process steps include bulk crystal growth, oxidation, diffusion, dopant diffusion, thin film deposition, lithography and etching. Processing factors that affect the materials properties will be highlighted.
