Abstract

Properties of p-type μc-Si prepared by Cat-CVD (Catalytic Chemical Vapor Deposition), often called Hot-Wire CVD, are studied for possible application to window layer of a-Si solar cells. Electrical, structural and optical properties are investigated. It is concluded that Cat-CVD p-type μc-Si is a suitable material as a window layer for Cat-CVD a-Si solar cells.
