H. Richard Leuchtag

The success of solar cells in powering space vehicles is well known, but for earthbound applications much more stringent economic constraints apply. This is one reason for the great interest in photovoltaic devices based on doped amorphous semiconductors, which promise to be much easier and cheaper to manufacture in quantity than single‐crystal cells.
