Substrate and p-layer effects on polymorphous silicon solar cells

The influence of textured transparent conducting oxide (TCO) substrate and p-layer on the performance of single-junction hydrogenated polymorphous silicon (pm-Si:H) solar cells has been addressed. Comparative studies were performed using p-i-n devic...
