This paper demonstrates the growth of highly-textured boron-doped ZnO (ZnO:B) film by using low-pressure chemical-vapor-deposition (LPCVD) for efficient light harvesting and carrier collection in heterojunction silicon-based (HJS) solar cells. The optical and electrical characteristics have been optimized versus the substrate temperature and B2H6 flow rate for tradeoffs among the sheet resistance, free-carrier absorption, and optical transmission of blue/green wavelengths. A HJS solar cell with a 1.6-mu m-thick ZnO:B film achieves a high power conversion efficiency of 16.30% and fill factor of 78.05%, compared to 15.64% and 72.17%, respectively, from a counterpart with a conventional 80-nm-thick indium tin oxide layer.

This work introduces the weighted collocation method with reproducing kernel approximation to solve the inverse Laplace equations. As the inverse problems in consideration are equipped with over-specified boundary conditions, the resulting equations yield an overdetermined system. Following our previous work, the weighted collocation method using a least-squares minimization has shown to solve the inverse Cauchy problems efficiently without using techniques such as iteration and regularization. In this work, we further consider solving the inverse problems of Laplace type and introduce the Shepard functions to deal with singularity. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the validity of the method.

In this work, the weighted reproducing kernel collocation method (weighted RKCM) is introduced to solve the inverse Cauchy problems governed by both homogeneous and inhomogeneous second-order linear partial differential equations. As the inverse Cauchy problem is known for the incomplete boundary conditions, how to numerically obtain an accurate solution to the problem is a challenging task. We first show that the weighted RKCM for solving the inverse Cauchy problems considered is formulated in the least-squares sense. Then, we provide the corresponding error analysis to show how the errors in the domain and on the boundary can be balanced with proper weights. The numerical examples demonstrate that the weighted discrete systems improve the accuracy of solutions and exhibit optimal convergence rates in comparison with those obtained by the traditional direct collocation method. It is shown that neither implementation of regularization nor implementation of iteration is needed to reach the desired accuracy. Further, the locality of reproducing kernel approximation gets rid of the ill-conditioned system.
