The ZnO/CdS/CuGaSe/sub 2/ single crystal solar cells with thermally evaporated CdS layers have been prepared. The cells with undoped and In-doped oxygen free buffer layers CdS had a low open-circuit voltages in comparision with chemically deposited CdS buffer layers. The strong oxygen influence on open-circuit voltage of devices was established. It is shown that using of oxygen during ZnO films preparation by rf-sputtering lead to high open circuit voltages for devices with thermal evaporated CdS buffer layers.

In this paper was calculated the position of Fermi energy level and effective mass of electron in n-type GaAs as a function of donor concentrations in the range from 10/sup 17/ to 10/sup 21/ cm/sup -3/, taking into account upper minima in conduction band at 300 K. Calculations show that is necessary taken besides /spl Gamma/ and L minimum for concentrations greater than 10/sup 19/ cm/sup -3/ and all three minima (/spl Gamma/, L and X) for concentrations greater than 10/sup 20/ cm/sup -3/.

In order to improve the axial distribution for the main impurities, oxygen and carbon concentration, in Cz silicon single crystals, the authors have established a computer numerical method to reduce the scattering area for values along the ingot by using different pulling rates.

Based on experimental observation, a new mathematical model is made for explaining the carrier lifetime versus temperature dependence in silicon solar cells manufactured on p-type material with one dominant acceptor trap energy level, situated in the lower part of the forbidden band. This model explains the behaviour of the lifetime taking into account the SRH model for the lifetime and the physical parameters temperature dependencies.

Several type of films obtained by the Chemical Vapour Deposition technique, such as silicon dioxide, phosphosilicate glass, silicon oxynitride, silicon nitride and polysilicon, were investigated. A calibration technique for the sample weighing method comprising film density evaluation was developed. The sample weighing method was found to be a fast, precise and non-destructive method for thin film thickness evaluation.

This paper describes some theoretical aspects of the time domain simulation in the presence of noise sources. It is demonstrated that the commonly used techniques are giving distorted results when using adaptive timestep. A correct method of noise modelling is explained. Based on this method, a practical implementation of a simulator capable of carrying out accurate transient analysis with noise is announced.

The purpose of this work is to study the relationship between the oxygen-rich concentration and brightness degradation in ZnS:TbOF green A.C. thin-film electroluminescent devices. The results showed that higher oxygen-content (O/Tb>1) in the phosphor layer not only created the deep hole traps (E/sub t1/ and/or E/sub t2/) but also yielded the EL devices with moisture. As a result, lower brightness was obtained.
