    Abstract: Methods are used to develop and evaluate new processes for cleaning and texturing substrates and layers used in HJCS solar cells. In some embodiments, methods are used to develop and evaluate new processes for the deposition of resistive metal oxide interface layers that are formed between the TCO layers and the a-Si:H layers. The resistive metal oxide interface layers form good ohmic contact to the a-Si:H layers. In some embodiments, methods are used to develop and evaluate new processes for the deposition of amorphous TCO layers. The amorphous TCO layers allow improved control over the layer thickness and morphology. In some embodiments, methods are used to develop and evaluate new processes for the deposition of anti-reflection coating materials. The anti-reflection coating materials are selected to decrease the reflectivity of the solar cell and maintain the high conductivity of the TCO materials.

    Abstract: A method for making low emissivity panels, including forming a base layer to promote a seed layer for a conductive silver layer. The base layer can be an amorphous layer or a nanocrystalline layer, which can facilitate zinc oxide seed layer growth, together with smoother surface and improved thermal stability. The base layer can include doped tin oxide, for example, tin oxide doped with Al, Ga, In, Mg, Ca, Sr, Sb, Bi, Ti, V, Y, Zr, Nb, Hf, Ta, or any combination thereof. The doped tin oxide base layer can influence the growth of (002) crystallographic orientation in zinc oxide, which in turn serves as a seed layer template for silver (111).

    Abstract: A method for making low emissivity panels, including control the ion characteristics, such as ion energy, ion density and ion to neutral ratio, in a sputter deposition process of a layer deposited on a thin conductive silver layer. The ion control can prevent or minimize degrading the quality of the conductive silver layer, which can lead to better transmittance in visible regime, block more heat transfer from the low emissivity panels, and potentially can reduce the requirements for other layers, so that the overall performance, such as durability, could be improved.

    Abstract: A method for making low emissivity panels, including control the composition of a barrier layer formed on a thin conductive silver layer. The barrier structure can include an alloy of a first element having high oxygen affinity with a second element having low oxygen affinity. The first element can include Ta, Nb, Zr, Hf, Mn, Y, Si, and Ti, and the second element can include Ru, Ni, Co, Mo, and W, which can have low oxygen affinity property. The alloy barrier layer can reduce optical absorption in the visible range, can provide color-neutral product, and can improve adhesion to the silver layer.

A first antireflective layer is formed over the substrate. The first antireflective layer has a first refractive index. A second antireflective layer is formed on the first antireflective layer. The second antireflective layer has a second refractive index. The first antireflective layer and the second antireflective layer jointly form an antireflective coating. The antireflective coating is graded such that the antireflective coating comprises at least three sub-layers, each of the at least three sub-layers having a unique refractive index.
