Creating 2D images of surface and bulk recombianation with photoluminescence imaging
Project Code: CECS_736
This project is available at the following levels:
Summer Scholar
Please note that this project is only for undergraduate students.
Keywords:
characterisation, silicon, photovoltaics
Supervisors:
Dr Andy ThomsonMr Teng Kho
Outline:
This work is the continuation of a 2010 hons student. You will be working with image processing software and our state-of-the-art PL system to image non-uniformly passivated silicon wafer and extract the recombination properties.
Goals of this project
1)Contribute to a publication regarding this work
2)Improve current image processing programs
3)Model to account for 2D effects
3)Characterise the "ringing defect"
Requirements/Prerequisites
Must be trained on the PL system and have a good understanding of QSSPC. A sound semiconductor physics background and programming experience with Octave would be useful.
