End-to-end modeling for thin film silicon PV

Speaker:	Michel Frei
Seminar Details:	Si, CdTe and CuInGaSe2 thin-film technologies are all gaining strong acceptance in commercial products. In particular, single-junction and tandem-junction Si is maturing as a well-understood technology. In this talk, we compare the benefits of each technology, and discuss the components of performance analysis from film property to module energy generation.
Speaker Details:	Dr. Michel Frei is an Engineering Manager at Applied Materials, Inc. where he is responsible for device and module performance analysis for thin-film and crystalline silicon photovoltaics. He has been a key contributor to the development of the Applied Materials SunFab thin-film technology, including establishing the internal programs for device analysis, reliability, certification and process yield. Previously, he spent 15 years in a variety of R&D engineering and management positions at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, NJ, in the fields of III-V heterojunction bipolar transistor reliability, high-performance SiGe BiCMOS, and LDMOS device modeling. Dr. Frei holds a PhD in EE from Princeton University, and a diploma in EE from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.
