Ultrathin silicon solar microcells for semitransparent, mechanically flexible and microconcentrator module designs. (2008, background): “The results presented here contribute to this progress by introducing practical means to create and manipulate monocrystalline Si solar cells that are much thinner (down to ∼100 nm, or limited only by junction depth) and smaller (down to a few micrometres) than those possible with other process tech”
Crystalline silicon on glass (CSG) thin-film solar cell modules (2004, background): “When compared to product actually available on the market rather than ‘‘champion’’ research modules (Green, 2003c) and to the likely performance of delivered product ( Green, 2003a ), the former range is near the top of present thin-films, while the latter is higher than most wafer-based modules.”
