  • Abstract
    The performance of a nip microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si) solar cell was improved by “alternately deposition and hydrogen plasma treatment method (ADHT)” at n/i interface. The defect densities measured by static capacitance-voltage (C-V) was decreased from 2.37×1016 cm-3 to 1.25 ×1016 cm-3. The short-circuit current Jsc was improved from 14.5 mA/cm2 to 17.2 mA/cm2 on bared stainless steel substrate and Obtained 24.7 mA/cm2 on a.BR substrates.
