A method is provided for depositing a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layer on a substrate, in which contaminations of the layers of the layer system is reduced through the diffusion of material from the substrate, and whose layer properties in respect to coupling and transmission of light are optimized. For that purpose, a barrier layer, a seed layer and a transparent conductive oxide layer are directly successively deposited on the substrate. Also, a thin-film solar cell is described which comprises such a transparent conductive oxide layer.

A method and device are provided for measurement of various transmission and reflection values of transparent measurement objects having transparent layers in an inline coating system, and particularly the turbidity of the measurement object during a relative movement between the measurement object and measuring device. Transmission fractions are measured in two different radiation directions of a lighting source emitting diffuse light by two photodetectors, by which a fraction of diffuse light of the lighting source is suppressed in one direction.
