Abstract Plasma processes enable the deposition of a wide variety of materials under non-equilibrium conditions. Here we retrace the evolution of the silicon thin-film industry: from hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) in the 1980s to polymorphous …

Thin-film technologies are distinguished by the ability of materials to absorb sunlight at very low thicknesses, of the order of a few microns or less, as opposed to over a hundred or more for silicon. This is due to a difference in the electronic …
