Abstract

A process for fabricating a-Si photovoltaic devices utilizing continuous deposition onto a plastic substrate has been developed. The advantages that spurred the development of this process include cost, ease of handling, shipping weight, steady state processing conditions, and the feedback control available in continuous processing. The process is easily scalable. Questions remain on the effect of plastic substrates on ultimate efficiency and stability.
