Zinc Oxide (ZnO) deposited by Low Pressure Chemical

Abstract: Doped ZnO layers deposited by Low Pressure Chemical Vapour Deposition technique have been studied for their use as transparent contact layers for thin-film silicon solar cells. The effect of a variation in the doping level of the front LP-CVD ZnO on solar cell performance is investigated. Based on these experimental results, authors propose to evaluate the effect of the different ZnO layer properties on solar cell performance by the use of a wavelength-dependent figure of merit
