You can only use the aluminum mold for around 3,000 to 10,000 cycles in a production process. Most of the time, the aluminum mold will get damaged after 3,000 to 10,000 cycles, depending on the quality of the aluminum alloys. Not suitable for mass production. For low production, aluminum mold can be an excellent alternative to steel molds. However, for mass production, you can''t

In this review, we focus on various applications of ALD-based thin films in solar cells, including industrial silicon, organic, thin film, and quantum dot solar cells. ALD films are used as a surface passivation layer, buffer layer, window layer, absorber layer, electron/hole contact or transparent conductive oxide in these types of solar cells.
The application of ALD-based materials in c-Si solar cells started with Al 2 O 3, a very effective surface passivation layer which was found to improve the efficiency of c-Si solar cells significantly [8, 9]. Further studies on ALD surface passivation layers and charge carrier transport materials followed.
