EE 165: Photovoltaic Fabrication Modeling and Testing

San Jose State University

Photovoltaic (solar cell) design, fabrication, and testing. TCAD simulation tools will be used in the model solar cell fabrication processes. Fabrication processes will include cleaning, deposition, oxidation, diffusion, metallization, photolithography, and etching. Metrology will include resistivity, spectrophotometry, and current-voltage curves. This is a lecture /lab course. Lecture 2 hours/Lab 3 hours. Prerequisites(s): MATE 25 or MATE 153 or TECH 25 with a grade of "C-" or better; or instructor consent.
