Abstract

This invention aims to reduce and preferably to cancel the carrier collection limit effect in order to considerably increase the conversion efficiency. This improvement is achieved by a suitable modification of the amorphized layer thickness or even by discontinuities separating amorphizing beams or amorphized nanopellets.
