A method for fabricating a shaped thin film photovoltaic device includes providing a length of tubular glass substrate having an inner diameter, an outer diameter, a circumferential outer surface region covered by an absorber layer and a window buffer layer overlying the absorber layer. The substrate is placed in a vacuum of between about 0.1 Torr to about 0.02 Torr and a mixture of reactant species derived from diethylzinc species, water species, and a carrier gas are introduced, as well as a diborane species. The substrate is heated to form a zinc oxide film with a thickness of 0.75-3μm, a haziness of at least 5%, and an electrical resistivity of less than about 2.5 milliohm-cm.
