The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to the University of Oregon to design and build a new load-locked, controlled pressure, close space vapor transport (CSVT) system capable of using chloride vapor as a transport agent to deposit all the needed device layers for high-performance CSVT III-V photovoltaics (PV).
Proposed project activities would include the semiconductor growth and characterization using the new CSVT system at University of Oregon in Eugene, OR, materials characterization by electron microscopy and spectroscopy at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, CA, and design and build of the CSVT system at Malachite Technology in Fremont, CA.
