We use metals in construction, domestic appliances, vehicles, and many other everyday products. It really can be said that metals have built the modern world. To fine-tune the desired properties of ...
The major factors affecting the performance of crystalline thin films are the presence of grain boundaries and inherent crystal structure. Post-deposition annealing is frequently employed to improve ...
Researchers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and Center Suisse d’Electronique et de Microtechnique (CSEM) in Switzerland developed a novel single-step thermal annealing process for ...
A hydrogen-based two-step annealing process improves SiC MOS device efficiency and reliability, expanding voltage range for electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. SiC power devices offer ...
A research team led by Switzerland's EPFL has sought to simplify TOPCon solar cell production by combining the two required high-temperature steps – front-side emitter formation and rear passivating ...
A microwave technology invented at Macquarie University will improve the manufacture of solar cells and make them easier to recycle. During the fabrication of solar panels, silicon goes through ...
