Amorphous silicon/crystalline silicon thin-film tandem solar cell

摘要

A device and method of making an amorphous-silicon/inorganic thin film tandem solar cell including the steps of depositing a textured oxide buffer layer on an amorphous substrate, depositing a crystalline inorganic semiconductor film from a eutectic alloy on the buffer layer, and depositing an amorphous film on the crystalline inorganic film, the amorphous film forming a p-n junction with the crystalline inorganic semiconductor for a solar cell device.
