A EUROPEAN PROJECT SUPPORTED THROUGH
THE SEVENTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME
FOR RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT
CHEETAH knowledge Exchange Portal is an integral part of CHEETAH project web site powered and developed by DTE unit of ENEA ©2014 - 2018 with support of all CHEETAH Partners. Starting from early 2018, CHEETAH KEP moved its first steps to became EERA Knowledge Exchange Platform for PV Technology (KEPT-PV). A new name for the previous platform characterizing our will to serve better and more efficiently in Knowledge Exchange a wider European and International PV RTD community.

iCUBE-MAPECV Research Infrastructures

  • Synthesis of material
  • Realization of  devices (diodes, transistors, memories, solar cells)
  • Characterization and modeling

Technical Info

MAIN FEATURES :

The MaCEPV team activities are divided into three themes with quite strong interactions among them, namely:
T1. Advanced inorganic materials for photovoltaics
T2. Organic materials and devices for electronics, photovoltaics and sensors
T3. Ion beam and photon assisted materials and processes

The MaCEPV  research activities ranges from the synthesis of material,  to realization of  devices (diodes, transistors, memories, solar cells), to their characterization and modeling, Indoor Performance measurements)

 More specifically, the investigations concern:

  • the development of innovative processes for wafer based silicon solar cells (multicrystalline, ribbon)
  • the formation and characterization of ultrathin film silicon solar cells on foreign substrates,
  • the synthesis and characterization of oxide/nitride based nanostructured materials for optoelectronics,
  • the optimization of transistors and organic solar cells,
  • the modification/synthesis of new materials by ion beams for the development of innovative electronic components,
  • the development of models and simulation tools to study the charge transport in photovoltaic and electronic components.

The MaCEPV team owns advanced infrastructures such as two technological platforms (clean room, glove box), unique facilities for the synthesis of materials (ion implanters, lasers, CVD, sputtering), for structural analysis (RBS, ERDA, Raman ...) and for optoelectronic investigations (photoluminescence, spectral response, ...) in addition to setups for the analysis of devices. The Modeling activities rely on computers and simulation tools developed in-house or commercial software (Monte-Carlo, scripts, COMSOL Multiphysics, ...).

LIMITATIONS OR CONSTRAINTS :

  • The access will be allowed with technical and scientific assistance from iCube-MaCEPV pesonnel
