The major factors affecting the performance of crystalline thin films are the presence of grain boundaries and inherent crystal structure. Post-deposition annealing is frequently employed to improve ...

Chinese researchers, led by a research team from PV Technology Center of Tongwei Co., Ltd, used a sequential annealing process in the fabrication of tandem solar cells, featuring a wide bandgap ...

Forming a low-resistivity ohmic contact on p -type SiC is far from easy – it requires an electrode metal with a work function larger than that of p -type SiC. As that condition is rarely met, when ...

Annealing The process of shaping aluminum alloys causes the grain structures to slide against one other, along areas known as slip planes. After a while there are less easy slip planes, and increased ...
