The plasma deposited a-Si: H p-i-n/ITO heteroface solar cell on flexible organic polymer substrate has been studied on the photovoltaic properties and their dependence on the deposition temperature and surface morphology of a-Si: H layer. So far, the conversion efficiency of 6.36% was obtained for the cells on the polymer film substrate by utilizing microcrystalline n-layer instead of amorphous n-layer. This figure is a little lower than that of cells on stainless steel plate and is partly attributed to the larger surface roughness of a-Si: H on organic polymer film.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
