  • Patent number: 7993752
    Abstract: The photovoltaic structure comprises a thin film coating on a transparent substrate, the thin film comprising an effective amount of nanocrystalline silicon embedded in a matrix of amorphous and/or microcrystalline silicon. A transparent conducting oxide layer on a layer of non-conductive transparent oxide provides light-trapping capability as well as electrical conductivity where needed. A chemical vapor deposition (“CVD”) reactor provides improved gas distribution to the substrates being coated in the reactor. An improved sputtering process and an improved RF plasma-enhanced CVD manufacturing method both using high levels of hydrogen in the hydrogen-silane mixture and high electrical power levels for the plasma to increase the speed and to lower the cost of manufacturing.
