OSTI ID:7343875
This report discusses development of low-cost thin film polycrystalline silicon solar cells suitable for large-scale terrestrial utilization. The properties of silicon deposited on carbon/graphite substrates are similar to those of silicon on graphite substrates, and the use of a carbon interlayer had no effects on the conversion efficiencies of solar cells. Efforts were directed to the recrystallization of silicon on graphite substrates. Silicon solar cells were deposited on metallurgical-grade silicon substrates prepared by casting and by the Czochralski technique using the thermal reduction of tri-chlorosilane. (GRA)
