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

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.

Microcrystalline silicon solar cells require an enhanced absorption of photons in the near-bandgap region between 700-1150nm. Conventional textured mirrors scatter light and increase the path length of photons in the absorber by total internal reflection.

An alternative solution is to use metal nanoparticles with low surface roughness to scatter light.

The second part is coated with the toluene liquid and annealed. The third part of this thesis is the large-scale, 156 x 156 mm2, solar cells c

博士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>光電工程學研究所<br>101<br>This thesis explores various types of nanostructures in single junction hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cells. The nanometer-sized structures are promising due to their excellent optical and electronic properties. They provide an effective way to increase optical path length inside solar cell, and thus result in improved energy conversion efficiency. This thesis is divided into two primary tasks: plasmonic nanoparticles and three-dimensional nanorods structures. First, the plasmonic-structure incorporated multilayer of Au nanoparticles embedded

碩士<br>國立臺北科技大學<br>光電工程系研究所<br>103<br>In this paper, the properties of silicon solar cells using the surface plasmon resonance effects generated through the embedded metal nanoparticles are investigated. First, the nanoscale metallic siliver (Ag) and indium (In) nanoparticles (NPs) were deposited on the titanium dioxide (TiO2) space layer with various thickness. Then, a layer of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) was coated on the cells with NPs, it exhibited a cell with plasmon antireflective coating (PARC) layer. The PARC layer provides both double anti-reflection and SPR effects to improve the incident
