  • Photovoltaic cell and methods for producing a photovoltaic cell
    Patent number: 8772080
    Abstract: A photovoltaic device is provided that includes a substrate, a first transparent conductive layer positioned on the substrate, a plurality of transparent conductive rods positioned on the first transparent conductive layer and having a growth direction, the growth direction extending in a direction away from the substrate, a photovoltaically active layer covering the plurality of transparent conductive rods rods and a conductive layer positioned on the photovoltaically active layer.
    Type: Grant

  • PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING A PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL
    Publication number: 20120255613
    Abstract: A photovoltaic cell (10) is fabricated by depositing a first transparent conductive layer (12) onto a substrate carrier (11). Portions of the first transparent conductive layer (12) are selectively removed to form a plurality of discrete transparent conductive protruding regions (13) or a plurality of discrete indentations (27) in the first transparent conductive layer (12). A silicon layer (14) comprising a charge separating junction is deposited onto the plurality of discrete protruding regions (13) or onto the plurality of discrete indentations (27) by chemical vapour deposition. A second transparent conductive layer (15) is deposited on the silicon layer (14) by chemical vapour deposition.
