Proje Özeti

Energy need of the world is increasing day by day. Meanwhile the conventional energy sources cause environmental pollution and they have dangerous effects on human health. Therefore research on clean and easily achievable energy sources has significant importance. In this project cost effective semiconductor silicon based solar cells will be fabriciated and characterized. Solar cells will be in ZnS/Si and ZnO/ZnS/Si heterostructures. ZnS and ZnO thin films will be deposited onto Si substrates by chemical spray pyrolysis which is an easy and cheap film fabrication technique. Metal contacts of the cells will be deposited by electron beam evaporation method. Our aim is to fabricate high efficiency solar cells by improving the film parameters of ZnO and ZnS layers via doping several metals and thermal annealing treatments.
