Abstract

See full text

An improved PV solar cell structure and methods for manufacturing the same are provided. In one embodiment, a photovoltaic device includes a first photoelectric conversion unit, a first transparent conductive oxide layer and a first microcrystalline silicon layer disposed between and in contact with the photoelectric conversion unit and the transparent conductive oxide layer. In another embodiment, a method of forming a photovoltaic solar cell includes providing a substrate having a first transparent conductive oxide layer disposed thereon, depositing a first microcrystalline silicon layer on the transparent conductive oxide layer, and forming a first photoelectric conversion unit on the microcrystalline silicon layer.
