摘要
Ga doped ZnO (GZO) films prepared by sputtering at room temperature were rapid thermal annealed (RTA) at elevated temperatures. With increasing annealing temperature up to 570 degrees C, film transmission enhanced significantly over wide spectral range especially in infrared region. Hall effect measurements revealed that carrier density decreased from similar to 8?x?1020 to similar to 3?x?1020 cm-3 while carrier mobility increased from similar to 15 to similar to 28?cm2/Vs after the annealing, and consequently low film resistivity was preserved. Hydrogenated microcrystalline Si (mu c-Si:H) and microcrystalline Si1-xGex (mu c-Si1-xGex:H, x?=?0.1) thin film solar cells fabricated on textured RTA-treated GZO substrates demonstrated strong enhancement in short-circuit current density due to improved spectral response, exhibiting quite high conversion efficiencies of 9.5% and 8.2% for mu c-Si:H and mu c-Si0.9Ge0.1:H solar cells, respectively.
