Abstract: Some modern methods of surface contamination detection use the principle of luminescence for their function. This thesis aims at introducing the principle of the method that is available for the measurement of surface contamination, thesis deals with an innovative surface-detection device using UV-VIS luminescence spectroscopy. In the work is presented the industrial use of the detection of oil contaminants. Another specialized topic is the field of forensic practice - dactyloscopy, where the possible use of the principle of UV-VIS luminescence spectroscopy, the Recognoil device as a possible and effective method of ensuring dactyloscopic traces is proved.

Abstract: In wafer-based silicon solar cell technology cleaning of silicon surfaces has so far been treated without much interest – the cheapest, simple solution, which means mostly rinsing with or dipping into diluted acids (HCl, HF), was the best. Whatever worked was rarely further investigated. Hence, not much work has been published in the field of contamination control and cleaning process optimization and development. With solar cell efficiencies increasing and processes becoming more and more sensitive, the interest in quality control and optimization of cleaning processes is rising.

Abstract: The acidic texture bath that is commonly used in crystalline silicon solar cell manufacturing is a mixture of HF/HNO₃/H₂O [. While the influences of metal contamination on silicon wafer surfaces as well as several cleaning methods were intensively investigated in the previous 30 years [ the effect of metal contaminations in texturisation baths has not yet been studied intensively. There are two categories of contaminations:
