Abstract
A photovoltaic cell that includes a transparent substrate, a front conductive layer formed on the substrate, a p-type layer formed on the front conductive layer, an i-layer of amorphous silicon formed on the p-layer, a wide bandgap n-type layer formed on the i-layer and a back contact layer formed on the n-type structure. The wide bandgap n-type layer may be an n-type sandwich structure which includes first, second, and third n-layers successively formed on one another. The first n-layer is formed on the i-layer, the second n-layer is formed on the first n-layer, and the n-layer is formed on the second n-layer. The second n-layer has an optical bandgap wider than the optical bandgap of the first and second n-type layers.
