Study of n/p solar cell based on ITO/Si Heterojunction

Transparent conductive oxides (TCO) are remarkable materials in many fields. The existence of their dual property, electrical conductivity and transparency in the visible, in addition to mechanical durability, including flexibility, makes them ideal candidates for applications in optoelectronics, photovoltaic or even as electro- chromic windows¹. They can become conductive (of type n for example: ZnO, ITO..and type p: NiO, SnO)²The use of TCO in heterojunction C-Si solar cells as transparent electrodes, and as n or p type layers in a solar cell is an economically viable photovoltaic technology³.
