Abstract
It has long been known that the use of finely textured transparent conducting oxide layers substantially improves the performance of thin film amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cells. Major efforts to understand the nature of this effect and to fully capture its potential have been made by researchers using advanced modeling techniques. In this work, modeling the oblique angle optical performance and use of an effective medium approximation to simulate microrough interfaces suggests that effective interface grading makes a significant contribution to optical enhancement.
