METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICE

摘要

A photovoltaic device is disclosed, the device having a zinc-containing layer, such as a ZnO1-xSx layer, as a window layer, as part of a composite window layer, and/or as a buffer layer. Use of the ZnO1-xSx layer improves an overall efficiency of the photovoltaic device due to improved optical transmission thereof as compared to CdS window layers, and due to a improved quantum efficiency of the photovoltaic device in the blue light spectrum due to the presence of the ZnO1-xSx layer.
