- Effects of Plasma Conditions on Density of Microcrystalline silicon
- Micro-Wave PECVD with a linear plasma source is applied for deposition of intrinsic layers for mc-Si solar cells. An important advantage of the linear MW-PECVD method is the capability of large-area deposition of Si layers at high deposition rates. This makes MW-PECVD method a promising method for large-scale industrial fabrication...

- Light Emitting Devices Based on silicon Nanostructures
- Although silicon is the dominant semiconductor today, light emitting devices are currently based on compound semiconductors due to their direct band-gap, which promotes fast radiative recombination. However, in nanometer-size silicon structures, carrier confinement enhances the radiative recombination, while, at the same time, suppresses diffusion to non-radiative recombination centra, resulting in...
