Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110088765Solar Cell Structure - A solar cell structure is provided. The solar cell structure includes a substrate, a front transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layer, a primary light absorbing layer, a back TCO layer, and a metal thin film layer stacked from bottom to top. The back TCO layer includes a coarse upper surface. Or alternatively, the solar cell structure includes a substrate, a front TCO layer, at least one first light absorbing layer, at least one interface layer, at least one second light absorbing layer, a back TCO layer, and a metal thin film layer stacked from bottom to top. The interface layer includes a coarse upper surface. Because of the coarse upper surface of the back TCO layer or the interface layer, the light is facilitated for further scattering, so that the light absorbing efficiency can be improved, thus improving the efficiency of the solar cell.04-21-2011
