DOUBLE LAYER ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATINGS, METHODS AND APPLICATIONS

摘要

Embodiments which provide an optically active component, a method for fabricating the optically active component and a method for operating a photovoltaic cell that may comprise the optically active component all use a dual layer anti-reflective coating. The dual layer anti-reflective coating in turn includes as a second and upper anti-reflective coating layer an aluminum oxide material. By using such an aluminum oxide material for forming the second and upper anti-reflective coating layer the embodiments exhibit enhanced barrier resistance to chemical and moisture intrusion, and thus enhanced performance of the optically active component.
