Modified textured surface MOCVD-ZnO:B transparent conductive layers for thin-film solar cells
2014
Modified textured surface boron-doped ZnO (ZnO:B) transparent conductive layers for thin-film solar cells were fabricated by low-pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition (LP-MOCVD) on glass substrates. These modified textured surface ZnO:B thin films included two layers. The first ZnO:B layer, which has a pyramid-shaped texture, was deposited under conventional growth conditions, and the second layer, which has a sphere-like structure, at a relatively lower growth temperature. Typical bi-layer ZnO:B thin films exhibit a high electron mobility of 27.6 cm 2 /(V· s) due to improved grain boundary states. For bi-layer ZnO:B, the haze value increases and the total transmittance decreases with the increasing film thickness of the second modification layer. When applied in hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon ( μ c-Si:H) thin-film solar cells, the modified textured surface ZnO:B layers present relatively higher conversion efficiency than conventional ZnO:B films.
