Photopiles au silicium amorphe. En état amorphe, le silicium absorbe le rayonnement solaire jusqu'à 100 fois mieux qu'en état cristallin. En 1976, on a découvert qu'on pouvait doper le silicium amorphe comme le silicium classique et réaliser des photopiles. 1, record 1, French, - photopile%20au%20silicium%20amorphe
