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 ...

A research team from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and Sydney-based solar technology company SunDrive investigated the impact of annealing plated copper (Cu) contacts in heterojunction (HJT ...

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 ...

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 ...
