Thin-film solar cells are a type of solar cell made by depositing one or more thin layers (thin films or TFs) of photovoltaic material onto a substrate, such as glass, plastic or metal. Thin-film solar cells are typically a few nanometers (nm) to a few microns (μm) thick–much thinner than the wafers used in conventional crystalline silicon (c-Si) based solar cells, which can be up to 200 μm thick. Thi. HistoryEarly research into thin-film solar cells began in the 1970s. In 1970, team at created the first gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cells, later winning the 2000 Nobel prize in Physics for. . In a typical solar cell, the is used to generate from sunlight. The light-absorbing or "active layer" of the solar cell is typically a material, meaning that there is a gap in its
