Testo completoThin-film crystalline silicon solar cells are promising candidates for future developments in the photovoltaic industry, through expected costs reductions and applications in flexible modules. To be competitive, thin-film monocrystalline silicon solar cell technology must differentiate itself from conventional ones. It is generally based on the epitaxy of high-quality layers and then on the transfer of these layers onto a mechanical support to complete the manufacture of the cell and reuse the growth substrate. The aim of this thesis is to find the technological associations that make it possible to realize high-efficiency photovoltaic cells from thin and ultra-thin layers of monocrystalline silicon. The work presented focuses on two main axes: the development and control of technological processes for the fabrication of thin-film solar cells and the optimization of high-performance thin-cell architectures.In this framework, the development of manufacturing techniques began with the development of thin-film transfer processes: low temperature laser welding technology and high temperature fast annealing welding technology. In order to increase conversion efficiency, we have developed surface patterns using the nano-photonics concepts to improve the absorbency of thin films. With an interferential lithography at 266 nm and dry etching by RIE and wet etching by TMAH (Tetramethylammonium Hydroxide), we can produce high-performance photonic crystals on epitaxial layers of silicon. Finally, we were able to design optimized architectures of thin solar cells with homo-junction of silicon and hetero-junction amorphous silicon / crystalline silicon more efficient electrically, thanks to electro-optical simulation tools. Our theoretical approach has also led us to explain the electrical phenomena specific to thin films, and to demonstrate the full potential of thin photovoltaic cells made of monocrystalline silicon

Testo completoRecently, piezoelectric materials, like lead titanate zirconate Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3 (PZT), zinc oxide ZnO, and the solid solution Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (PMN-PT), increasingly receive intensive studies because of their innovative applications in the microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). In order to integrate them on silicon substrate, several preliminaries must be taken into considerations, e.g. buffer layer, bottom electrode. In this thesis, piezoelectric films (PZT and PMN-PT) have been successfully epitaxially grown on silicon and SOI (silicon-on-insulator) in the form of single crystal by sol-gel process. In fact, recent studies show that single crystalline films seem to possess the superior properties than that of polycrystalline films, leading to an increase of the performance of MEMS devices. The first objective of this thesis was to realize the epitaxial growth of single crystalline film of piezoelectric materials on silicon. The use of a buffer layer of gadolinium oxide(Gd2O3) or strontium titanate (SrTiO3 or STO) deposited by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) has been studied in detail to integrate epitaxial PZT and PMN-PT films on silicon. For Gd2O3/Si(111) system, the study of X-ray diffraction (XRD) on the growth of PZT film shows that the film is polycrystalline with coexistence of the nonferroelectric parasite phase, i.e. pyrochlore phase. On the other hand, the PZT film deposited on STO/Si(001) substrate is successfully epitaxially grown in the form of single crystalline film. In order to measure the electrical properties, a layer of strontium ruthenate (SrRuO3 or SRO) deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) has been employed for bottom electrode due to its excellent conductivity and perovskite crystalline structure similar to that of PZT. The electrical characterization on Ru/PZT/SRO capacitors demonstrates good ferroelectric properties with the presence of hysteresis loop. Besides, the relaxor ferroelectric PMN-PT has been also epitaxially grown on STO/Si and confirmed by XRD and transmission electrical microscopy (TEM). This single crystalline film has the perovskite phase without the appearance of pyrochlore. Moreover, the study of infrared transmission using synchrotron radiation has proven a diffused phase transition over a large range of temperature, indicating a typical relaxor ferroelectric material. The other interesting in the single crystalline PZT films deposited on silicon and SOI is to employ them in the application of MEMS devices, where the standard silicon techniques are used. The microfabrication process performed in the cleanroom has permitted to realize cantilevers and membranes in order to mechanically characterize the piezoelectric layers. Mechanical deflection under the application of an electric voltage could be detected by interferometry. Eventually, this characterization by interferometry has been studied using the modeling based on finite element method and analytic method. In the future, it will be necessary to optimize the microfabrication process of MEMS devices based on single crystalline piezoelectric films in order to ameliorate the electromechanical performance. Finally, the characterizations at MEMS device level must be developed for their utilization in the future applications

Testo completoMaire, Jérémie. "Thermal phonon transport in silicon nanostructures". Thesis, Ecully, Ecole centrale de Lyon, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015ECDL0044/document.
Testo completoIn the last two decades, nano-structuration has allowed thermoelectric efficiency to rise dramatically. Silicon (Si), originally a poor thermoelectric material, when scaled down, to form nanowires for example, has seen its efficiency improve enough to be accompanied by a renewed interest towards thermal transport in Si nanostructures. Although it is already possible to reduce thermal conductivity in Si nanostructures by nearly two orders of magnitude, thermal transport mechanisms remain unclear. A better understanding of these mechanisms could not only help to improve thermoelectric efficiency but also open up the path towards high-frequency thermal phonon control in similar ways that have been achieved with photons. The objective of this work was thus to develop a characterization platform, study thermal transport in various Si nanostructures, and ultimately highlight the contribution of the coherent phonon transport to thermal conductivity. First, we developed an optical characterization system alongside the fabrication process. Fabrication of the structures is realized on-site in clean rooms, using a combination of wet processes, electron-beam lithography, plasma etching and metal deposition. The characterization system is based on the thermoreflectance principle: the change in reflectivity of a metal at a certain wavelength is linked to its change in temperature. Based on this, we built a system specifically designed to measure suspended nanostructures. Then we studied the thermal properties of various kinds of nanostructures. Suspended unpatterned thin films served as a reference and were shown to be in good agreement with the literature as well as Si nanowires, in which thermal transport has been confirmed to be diffusive. Only at very low temperature and for short nanowires does a partially ballistic transport regime appear. While studying 1D periodic fishbone nanostructures, it was found that thermal conductivity could be adjusted by varying the shape which in turn impacts surface scattering. Furthermore, low temperature measurements confirmed once more the specularity of phonon scattering at the surfaces. Shifting the study towards 2D phononic crystals (PnCs), it was found that although thermal conductivity is mostly dominated by the surface-to-volume (S/V) ratio for most structures, when the limiting dimension, i.e. the inter-hole spacing, becomes small enough, thermal conductivity depends solely on this parameter, being independent of the S/V ratio. Lastly, we were able to observe, at low temperature in 2D PnCs, i.e. arrays of holes, thermal conduction tuning based on the wave nature of phonons, thus achieving the objective of this work

Testo completoIn thin film silicon solar cells, it is important to take control of the absorption efficiency, in order to reach a high enough short-circuit current density (Jsc). To reach this goal, we have developed light trapping strategies based on simply periodic photonic crystals (PC) and more complex pattern structures. This work aims at integrating such structures into thin film crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells. Firstly, a simply periodic square lattice PC structure of cylindrical holes or inverted nano-pyramids have been considered in a-Si:H/c-Si heterojunction thin film solar cells. The absorption in the sole absorbing layer (c-Si) is considered and optimized in numerical simulations based on the Finite Difference Time Domain method. The Jsc are increased by 56.4% (cylindrical holes) and 104.8% (inverted nano-pyramids) compared to the unpatterned case. We also considered more advanced structures where an additional cylindrical holes structure is introduced in the bottom. Secondly, we have considered complex but realistic “pseudo-disordered” nanostructures, based on periodically reproduced supercells where the holes are randomly shifted. In such structures the absorption could be increased compared with fully optimized square lattice of holes, by increasing the spectral density of optical modes. Simulation based on Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis and fabrication by electronic beam lithography and reactive ion etching technologies have been performed, leading to a net absorption increase of about 2.1% theoretically, and 2.7% experimentally. Lastly, we have introduced pseudo-disordered structures with supercells of different size, in c-Si layers of several thicknesses in the 1-8μm range. The absorption mechanisms in such structures were analyzed, both in the real and reciprocal spaces, with a view to determine design guidelines. Moreover, the angular response of the optimized pseudo-disordered structure appears to be more stable than in the optimized square lattice of holes periodic case, especially in the long wavelength range

Testo completoCrystalline Si thin films on low-cost substrates are expected to be alternatives to bulk Si materials for PV applications. Liquid Phase Epitaxy (LPE) is one of the most suitable techniques for the growth of high quality Si layers since LPE is performed under almost equilibrium conditions. We investigated a growth technology which allows growing Si epitaxial thin films in steady temperature conditions through the control of solvent evaporation from a metallic melt saturated with silicon: Liquid Phase Epitaxy by Solvent Evaporation (LPESE). We studied the main requirements regarding selection of solvent, crucible and growth ambient, and a first experimental set up is designed. An analytical model is described and discussed, aiming to predict solvent evaporation and Si crystallization rate. Growth experiments are implemented with a vertical dipping system. Growth procedure is presented and the influence, on Si growth, of melt convection, temperature gradient in the melt and Si-M reactivity with the material crucible are discussed. Solutions are proposed to improve and optimise the growth conditions. Experimentally, Si thin films were grown from Sn-Si and In-Si solution at temperatures between 900 and 1200°C under high vacuum. We are able to achieve epitaxial layers of several micrometers thickness (20-40µm). The predicted solvent evaporation rate and Si growth rate are in agreement with the experimental measurements. Regarding the structural quality, it is comparable to the crystal quality of layers grown by LPE. With In and In(Ga) melts, we can obtain P-type epitaxial layers with doping level in the range 1017 at.cm3, which is of great interest for the fabrication of solar cells. Finally, the growth of Si thin films on multicrystalline Si substrates by LPESE is discussed to assess the potential application of this technique

Testo completoFunctional perovskite oxides are of great interest for fundamental and applied research thanks to the numerous physical properties and inherent mechanisms they display. With the maturation of thin film deposition techniques, research teams are able to reproduce oxide films and nanostructures of great crystalline quality with some of the most remarkable properties found in physics, a state leading now to upper-level thoughts like their ability to fulfill industrial needs. This thesis work is an answer to some of the problematics that arise when considering the oxide transition from the research to the industrial world, by focusing on their integration for micromechanical devices (MEMS) such as sensors. In order to ease the access to MEMS manufacturing, it is of importance to allow the deposition of thin oxide films on semiconductor substrates. A first study show that these access bridges can be crossed when using appropriate buffer layers such as SrTiO3 deposited on Silicon or gallium arsenide – produced in close collaboration with INL by Molecular Beam Epitaxy - and yttria-stabilized zirconia directly grown on silicon by pulsed laser deposition, which adapts the surface properties of the substrate to perovksite-based materials. Formation of thin epitaxial and monocristalline films of functional oxides is thus allowed on such buffer layers. As an example, characterization of two mixed-valence manganites La0.80Ba0.20MnO3 and La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 demonstrates that both materials are of excellent crystalline quality on these semiconducting substrates and that their physical characteristics match the one found on classical oxide substrates like SrTiO3. Stress evolution in thin films, which has a major effect in epitaxial materials, is then addressed to quantify its impact on oxide microstructure viability. This work gives an identification of the most significant factors favoring stress generation in the case of the films we produced. Then, based on the deformation measurement of free-standing cantilevers made of manganites on pseudo-substrates, and with the support of appropriate analytical models, a new state of equilibrium is established, giving new information about the evolution of static stress from deposition to MEMS device manufacturing. Solutions to manage their reproducibility is then studied. From another perspective, free-standing microstructures made of monocristaline manganites were used to display the effect of dynamical strain on their electrical resistivity (piezoresistivity) and their inherent structures.Finally, a specific example of the capabilities of reproducible free-standing microbridges made of manganites is presented through the conception of a pressure gauge based on Pirani effect. Indeed, it is shown that the abrupt resistivity change this material exhibits near their metal-to-insulating transition creates high temperature coefficients in standard application environments that can be taken as an advantage to improve the sensibility and power consumption of such gauges whose development had significantly slowed down over the past years. A set of improvements on their sensitivity range and their signal acquisition is also presented. Combined to a specific and innovative package, it is also demonstrated that Pirani gauge capabilities can be enhanced and that the complete devices fulfill embedded application requirements
