Method of making quasi-grain boundary-free polycrystalline solar cell structure and solar cell structure obtained thereby

Patent Gonzalez, Franklin N [Gainesville, FL]; Neugroschel, Arnost [Gainesville, FL]

A new solar cell structure is provided which will increase the efficiency of polycrystalline solar cells by suppressing or completely eliminating the recombination losses due to the presence of grain boundaries. This is achieved by avoiding the formation of the p-n junction (or other types of junctions) in the grain boundaries and by eliminating the grain boundaries from the active area of the cell. This basic concept can be applied to any polycrystalline material; however, it will be most beneficial for cost-effective materials having small grains, including thin film materials.

Oxidized film structure and method of making epitaxial metal oxide structure

Patent Gan, Shupan [Richland, WA]; Liang, Yong [Richland, WA]

A stable oxidized structure and an improved method of making such a structure, including an improved method of making an interfacial template for growing a crystalline metal oxide structure, are disclosed. The improved method comprises the steps of providing a substrate with a clean surface and depositing a metal on the surface at a high temperature under a vacuum to form a metal-substrate compound layer on the surface with a thickness of less than one monolayer. The compound layer is then oxidized by exposing the compound layer to essentially oxygen at a low partial pressure and low temperature. The methodmore » « less
