Relationship between average slope of textured substrate and poly-Si thin film solar cells performance

This paper presents a nanoscopic characterisation of a series of textured substrates with a structure of Ag-grid/ZnO/p-i-n/ZnO/Ag/SnO2/glass for poly-Si thin film solar cells performed by atomic force microscopy, in order to find the optimum texture substrate and realise the light trapping. The rel...
