Cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells are a leading thin-film technology, but their performance is often limited by surface recombination at non-ideal back contacts. This work addresses the challenge by developing a micropatterned Al₂O₃ back-contact architecture that combines surface passivation, carrier-selective transport, and optical functionality. A robust fabrication approach using optimized photolithography, controlled wet etching, and shadow mask metallization enables reproducible microhole arrays on rough CdTe surfaces without material degradation. The resulting structure forms localized metal contacts through microholes while preserving dielectric coverage elsewhere, allowing precise control over contact fraction and its influence on device behavior. Electrical studies reveal that for as-grown CdTe, Al₂O₃ primarily acts as a transport barrier, increasing series resistance and reducing performance. In contrast, post-annealed CdTe benefits from improved carrier transport and reduced recombination, enabl…

This dissertation develops portable microscopy methods for imaging living plants in ways that are minimally invasive, computationally enhanced, and practical outside of traditional laboratory settings. Plant processes such as wound response, embolism formation, and tissue development often unfold in living tissues over time, yet they are difficult to study with conventional microscopes that require sectioning, staining, or bulky instrumentation. We present methods for deep-tissue imaging with an ultra-thin multi-modal optical fiber, label-free hyperspectral autofluorescence microscopy, and hyperspectral polarimetric microscopy. Together, these approaches enable improved visualization of plant structure, chemistry, and dynamics.
