Application Examples
n Solar cells with a variety of voltages can be created
n Solar cells with a variety of shapes can be created
n High sensitivity in the visible light region
Since, unlike the fabrication technique used with crystalline solar cells in which cells cut apart and then
connected, multiple cells can be connected in series at the same time as the cells are formed, it is easy to
create batteries with a variety of voltages.
(This series connection idea is the same as that used with regular batteries.)
The methods used to form amorphous films have special features that allow other substrates, such as
stainless steel or plastic films, to be used in place of the usual glass substrate. This means that previously
unknown solar cells, solar cells that are round, square, or any complex shape, or solar cells that can be
bent, can be created.
It is also possible to create areas in these solar cells that consist of just transparent glass by etching.
The human eye is sensitive to light with wavelengths from about 400 nm to 700 nm.
Since amorphous silicon solar cells are sensitive to light with essentially the same wavelengths, in addition
to solar cells, they can also be used as visible light sensors.
