Imec, together with its project partners, have cooperated within an EU 7th framework program (FP7) project PRIMA to improve both the efficiency and cost of solar cells. In particular, they have worked on a light trapping strategy utilizing metal nanostructures that allows plasmons to increase the absorption within the solar cell structure.
