摘要
The development of p-type and front ZnO layers, being window layers in n-i-p solar cells, is considered in this work. Electrical and optical properties of these layers were investigated on glass substrates, subject to thickness and doping variations. Subsequently, the effects of p-layer thickness and doping and front ZnO thickness on solar cell performance were studied. The optimal conditions for concerned layers are obtained, and discussed in terms of the built-in voltage, potential barriers and total reflection. (C) 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
