Flexible Electronics: High Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition of Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon Films and Solar Cells (Adv. Mater. 28/2016)
On page 5939, J. V. Badding and co workers describe the unrolling of a flexible hydrogenated amorphous silicon solar cell, deposited by high pressure chemical vapor deposition. The high pressure deposition process is represented by the molecules of silane infiltrating the small voids between the rolled up substrate, facilitating plasma free deposition over a very large area. The high pressure approach is expected to also find application for 3D nanoarchitectures.
