Abstract

Natively textured ZnO layers for the application as front electrode material in amorphous silicon pin solar cells have been deposited by Expanding Thermal Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition. Films deposited in the temperature regime from 150 to 350°C at a rate between 0.65 and 0.75 nm/s have been characterteed with respect to their optical, electrical and structural properties. Results comparable to Asahi U-type SnO2:F have been obtained for these layers. First solar cells on ZnO, which was deposited at 250°C and 350°C, show an efficiency approaching 10%, only slightly lower than on Asahi U-type SnO2:F.
