Conformal coating of amorphous silicon and germanium by high pressure chemical vapor deposition for photovoltaic fabrics

Conformally coating textured, high surface area substrates with high quality semiconductors is challenging. Here, we show that a high pressure chemical vapor deposition process can be employed to conformally coat the individual fibers of several types of flexible fabrics (cotton, carbon, steel) with...
