The use of transparent conducting oxides (TCO) as electrical contacts in a-Si:H solar cells has stimulated interest in the multitude of effects that these layers have on a-Si:H solar cell performance. The study of a-Si:H p-i-n junctions using a TCO contact involves many factors such as, interdiffusion, transmission, reflection, and resistivity. In this paper, we attempt to distinguish between these factors through the role they play in determining the solar cell device performance. Devices were characterized via dark and illuminated current vs. voltage (I-V) measurements, and spectral response. It was found that the properties of the TCO have an important role in influencing FF and Jsc in the devices.

AbstractWe have deposited amorphous silicon films from mixtures of dichlorosilane (SiH2C12, DCS), and silane (SiH4) and made the first p-i-n solar cells using i-layers of this material. We measured optical and electronic transport properties of the DCS-derived films and relate them to the solar cell performance. The DCS cells are compared to standard cells made with SilH4.
