USE OF AL BARRIER LAYER TO PRODUCE HIGH HAZE ZNO FILMS ON GLASS SUBSTRATES

摘要

Embodiments of the invention provide a method for forming a solar cell including forming a layer comprising alumina on a substrate and forming a transparent conductive layer on the layer comprising alumina. The method may also include forming a transparent conductive seed layer on the layer comprising alumina and forming a transparent conductive bulk layer on the transparent conductive seed layer. Embodiments of the invention also include photovoltaic devices having a substrate, a layer comprising alumina adjacent to the substrate, a zinc oxide-containing transparent conductive seed layer adjacent to the layer comprising alumina, and a zinc oxide-containing transparent conductive bulk layer adjacent the zinc oxide-containing transparent conductive seed layer.
