Functional properties of silicon composites, doped with yttrium, for thin-film photovoltaic converters
Main Article Content
Abstract
The promising directions of thin film photovoltaic technology are discussed. Using complex analysis of thin film silicon composites doped by yttrium, factors that increase their photoresponse in visible and UV light were defined. It was shown that changes in deposition temperature lead to formation of different types of structures from amorphous to nanocrystalline silicon
