Eletrodo frontal possuindo superfície gravada com água forte para uso em dispositivo fotovoltaico e método parafabricar o mesmo.

摘要

Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to a photovoltaic (PV) device including an electrode such as a front electrode/contact, and a method of making the same. In certain example embodiments, the front electrode has a textured (e.g., etched) surface that faces the photovoltaic semiconductor film of the PV device. In certain example embodiments, the front electrode is formed on a flat or substantially flat (non-textured) surface of a glass substrate (e.g., via sputtering), and the surface of the front electrode is textured (e.g., via etching). In completing manufacture of the PV device, the etched surface of the front electrode faces the active semiconductor film of the PV device.
