Optimization of Transparent and Reflecting Electrodes for Amorphous Silicon Solar Cells: Annual Subcontract Report, 1 April 1994 - 31 March 1995

    Research output: NRELSubcontract Report

    Abstract

    Transparent and reflecting electrodes are important parts of the structure of amorphous silicon solar cells. We report improved methods for depositing zinc oxide deposition of tin nitride as a potential reflection-enhancing diffusion barrier between the a-Si and back metal reflector, and evaluation of titanium oxide to protect electrodes. Future work will concentrate on increasing thetransparency of the TiO2 and depositing microcrystalline Si p-layers on it, so that the cell efficiencies may be increased.
