| Description | The main priorities when preparing the p-i-n amorphous silicon based solar cells are the efficiency and in the same time the optoelectronic stability. However, for the final applications, the good mechanical and thermomechanical stability is not of the second order of importance. The large internal mechanical stress, weak adhesion can result the deterioration of the solar cell (cracking, delamination). The objective of our study was to investigate the mechanical properties of p-i-n amorphous silicon based solar cells by means of depth sensing indentation technique. |
