ABSTRACTThis work presents the first results of a study aimed at better understanding the elastic behaviour of hard coatings produced by various techniques. This is important also in view of the need to be able to control the level of internal stresses, particularly in PVD coatings. It is well known that in extreme cases excessive internal stress can lead to complete film destruction. We devote this paper to reactively magnetron sputtered TiN, one of the most widely used compounds. Thin TiN films of different compositions were deposited on Si substrates and characterized by SEM, AES, XRD and Brillouin light scattering.

ABSTRACTThis paper reviews recent progress in large-area a-Si/a-SiGe tandem solar cells in Sanyo. Much effort has been devoted to increasing both the stabilized efficiency and the process throughput. A key issue in increasing the stabilized efficiency is thinner i-layer structure with an improved optical confinement effect. High-rate deposition of the i-layers has been investigated using rf (13.56MHz) plasma-CVD method while keeping the substrate temperature below 200 °C. A high photosensitivity of 106 of a-Si:H films maintain up to the deposition rate (Rd) of 15 Å/s by optimizing hydrogen dilution and other deposition conditions. It is of great importance to utilize the effect of hydrogen dilution which can reduce the incorporation of excess hydrogen in the films. The world's highest conversion efficiency of 11.2% has been achieved for a large-area (8252cm2) a-Si/a-SiGe tandem by combining the optimized hydrogen dilution and other solar cell related technologies.
