Different methods of Si1-xGex alloy deposition are reviewed, including their optical and material properties as function of Ge% are summarized, with SiGe use in photovoltaic applications analyzed. Fabrication and characterization of single junction Si1-xGex solar cells on Si using a-Si as emitter is discussed, with a focus on the effect of different Ge%. Further, the book highlights the use Si1-xGex as a template for lattice matched deposition of III-V layers on Si, along with its challenges and benefits, including financial aspects. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFinally, fabrication and characterization of single junction GaAsxP1-x cells on Si via Si1-xGex is discussed, along with the simulation and modeling of graded SiGe layers and experimental model verification.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elsevier","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45310234460311,"sku":"9780323856300","price":10433.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780323856300.webp?v=1769287385","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/silicon-germanium-alloys-for-photovoltaic-applications-9780323856300","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
