Assessment of the composition of Silicon-Rich Oxide films for photovoltaic applications by optical techniques
Abstract The deposition of sub-stoichiometric silicon rich oxide (SRO) is the first step to obtain well ordered silicon Quantum Dots (QDs) in a dielectric matrix. This structure is used also for third generation photovoltaic devices operating in a...

Why Do PV Modules Fail?
Abstract PV modules that are sold on the worldwide market today have to pass the relevant IEC tests for certification. These tests are only a mark for a certain quality level, not a reliability test. Nevertheless, manufacturers of PV modules give...

Effects of Thickness and Chemical Quality of SiO2 Barrier on POCl3 Diffusion During the Formation of Emitter
Abstract The distribution of phosphorus dopants in the emitter formed by POCl3 diffusion show an important ‘kink’ resulting from the existence of electrically inactive phosphorus. Further, this ‘kink’ participates to form a zone called ‘dead layer’...

Exploitation of the Reverberant Propagation of Elastic Waves in Structures: Towards a Concept of Low-resource SHM Sensor Network
Abstract Actual implementation of an efficient SHM system is necessarily hampered by the constraints of power-consumption and intrusive- ness (weight, size, in-service integration) of sensors. In the field of ultrasound-based SHM, conventional...
