Abstract:

Amorphous Silicon solar cells have been produced by a two consecutive decomposition and deposition chamber system, using polished S. S. substrates. Through a systematic investigation of the electrical and optical properties of doped and undoped amorphous silicon layers (1) we observe that the deposition conditions (gas partial pressure, density of r. f. power, substrate temperature, electromagnetic static fields applied to the substrate, and gas flow rate) influence films properties. In the course of this investigation we have been studying the role of the sheet resistance, R//s, of the I. T. O. layer on the short circuit current, I//s//c, and on the open circuit voltage, V//o//c, of p. i. n. structures of 16cm**2 in area. The obtained results indicate that V//o//c is almost independent on R//s, while I//s//c variation approaches a square root dependence on R//s.
