Abstract

See full text

A system for fabrication of a photovoltaic structure is provided. During fabrication, the system can deposit a doped amorphous Si layer on a first surface of a crystalline Si substrate; and deposit, using a physical vapor deposition machine, a transparent conductive oxide layer on the doped amorphous Si layer. The deposited transparent conductive oxide layer can include In2O3 doped with TiO2 and Ta2O5, and depositing the transparent conductive oxide layer can involve maintaining the Si substrate at a temperature below 130° C. The system can further deposit a metallic layer on the transparent conductive oxide layer, and anneal the transparent conductive oxide layer.
