Nanomaterials and nanotechnology for advanced photovoltaics (NanoPV)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

The NanoPV project aims at making a breakthrough step-change in photovoltaics by the removal of a set of bottlenecks which have been identified to block the application of nanostructures for high-efficiency, low-cost solar cells. The bottlenecks arise from the present lack of up-scalable processes that can meet the needs for nanomaterials in PV applications, and the lack of relevant equipment and ...

European 450mm Equipment & Materials Initiative (EEMI 450)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 1, 2013,

Large-scale semiconductor fabrication is now standardised on 300mm diameter wafers. However, as demand grows and node dimensions diminish, major chipmakers are considering offsetting the growing costs of miniaturisation by increasing wafer size to 450mm to cut cost per produced die. A prerequisite is the availability of the required quality wafers and equipment able to handle larger wafers. The EN ...

Thin Si film based hybrid solar cells on low-cost substrates (ThinSi)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

The ThinSi project will develop a solar cell processing chain for high throughput, cost-effective manufacturing of thin film silicon based solar cells on low-cost silicon substrates. The substrates will be made on the basis of an innovative powder-to-substrate concept. In line with the Workprogramme topic addressed, it will reduce the cost of solar cell modules compared to those made by the conven ...

Smart Nanostructured Semiconductors for Energy-Saving Light Solutions (SMASH)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

Solid state light sources based on compound semiconductors are opening a new era in general lighting and will contribute significantly to a sustainable energy saving. For a successful and broad penetration of LEDs into the general lighting market two key factors are required: high efficiency and low cost. Two new disruptive technologies based on nanostructured semiconductors are proposed to addres ...
