Quantum confined silicon, in the form of silicon quantum dots of diameters 5 nm or less, has the property of bandgap control and light emission. This bandgap engineering gives silicon quantum dots applications in novel photovoltaic devices, while maintaining compatibility with existing silicon technologies. These dots can help reduce lattice thermalisation losses in a single-junction solar cell. This work focusses on the large scale fabrication of silicon quantum dots in SiO2 using Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition (PECVD), followed by high-temperature annealing. Thick single layers are compared with multilayers for morphological, electrical and optical properties. Devices with these layers are compared with different electrode mat...
