Aerosol-Assisted CVD As The Economically Method to Deposit The Solar Cell, An Overview of The Electrical and Structural Properties

Abstract

In the modern era, it is very crucial to utilize the sustainable energy that is abundant in nature especially the solar energy. Due to this reason the research to develop an economically solar cell has been extensively studied. Aerosol-Assisted CVD, an economically developed method to produce the carbon solar call has proven its ability in this area to produce the solar cell. Five samples of pure a-C and nitrogen doped a-C:N were produced, with deposition temperatures ranging from 400°C to 600°C. The current-voltage solar simulator characterization yielded an ohmic contact. Higher conductivity at a-C:N, x10-2 Scm-1 is attributable to a decrease in defects caused by the decrease in spin density gap with nitrogen addition. AFM measurements of structural characteristics at high temperatures reveal an even smoother image as the intense carbon ion bombardment at the thin film's surface increases.
