The objective of the proposed project is to develop a new technology for manufacturing crystalline silicon (Si)-based solar cells with high flexibility and high conversion efficiency. The proposed project is a joint effort between Dr. Adachi's team at Simon Fraser University (SFU), Dr. O'Leary's team at The University of British Columbia (UBC), and industrial partner, Solar Earth Technologies Ltd. Potential applications include the incorporation of flexible solar cells into Solar Earth Technologies's next solar roadway product, portable power supplies for next generation mobile electronic devices, and solar charging vehicles. Solar cells will be fabricated with a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) cluster tool at Simon Fraser University using thin low-cost solar grade monocrystalline Si wafers. The technical challenges that must be overcome**include the development of a high-throughput substrate thinning technique, the implementation of an effective light trapping management strategy that aims to maximize light absorption with ~10 times less material, and the demonstration of high-flexibility and high-efficiency photovoltaic prototype devices. With the proposed project, Solar Earth Technologies Ltd. will acquire new technology to integrate into their next generation solar roadway product. In addition, a team of 9 students and researchers will gain hands-on industry-relevant skills relating to semiconductor device fabrication and optical and electrical characterization, while simultaneously receiving guidance and training from representatives of the industrial partner. The**development of the new solar cell technology may lead to new environmentally-friendly commercial products and new jobs in the renewable energy and high-tech sectors for Canadians. The goal of developing clean technologies and linking research performed in a laboratory with commercialization and consumer adaptation cycles, a priority for the Canadian government, will have been achieved through the successful completion of this project.

拟议项目的目的是开发一种新技术，用于制造晶体硅（SI）的太阳能电池具有很高的灵活性和高转换效率。拟议的项目是Simon Fraser大学（SFU），不列颠哥伦比亚大学（UBC）O'Leary博士团队的Adachi博士团队之间的共同努力，Solar Earth Technologies Ltd.的工业合作伙伴。柔性太阳能电池进入太阳能技术的下一个太阳能道路产品，下一代移动电子设备的便携式电源以及太阳能充电车辆。太阳能电池将使用稀薄的低成本太阳级单晶Si Wafers在西蒙·弗雷泽大学（Simon Fraser University）的血浆增强化学蒸气沉积（PECVD）群集工具制造。必须克服的技术挑战**包括开发高通量基材稀疏技术，实施有效的捕获诱捕管理策略，旨在以减少约10倍的材料，并表现出高弹性的材料，以最大程度地吸收光。和高效光伏原型设备。通过拟议的项目，Solar Earth Technologies Ltd.将获取新技术以集成到其下一代太阳能道路产品中。此外，由9名学生和研究人员组成的团队将获得与半导体设备制造以及光学和电气表征有关的与行业相关的技能，同时同时获得了工业合作伙伴代表的指导和培训。新的太阳能电池技术的发展可能会导致新的环保商业产品以及可再生能源和加拿大人高科技领域的新工作。通过成功完成该项目的成功完成，将开发清洁技术和联系在实验室中进行的研究和消费者适应周期的研究。
