A new amorphous silicon-based alloy for electronic applications
Stanford R. Ovshinsky,Arun Madan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the development of a new alloy that eliminates the physical problems associated with the silicon-hydrogen alloys is reported. But the alloy is not suitable for photovoltaics, and its application has been limited by economic considerations in single-crystal materials and for physical reasons such as grain boundaries in poly-crystalline materials.
