dc.description.abstractTexturing of glass substrate instead of using conventional naturally textured transparent conducting oxidesis a good alternative to enhance light absorption in thin film silicon solar cells. In this work, we present textured glass substrates with two extremely different roughness values (rms =56 nm and rms =146 nm), achieved through the aluminium induced texturing method. Al-doped ZnO front contacts were deposited over both these textured glasses by sputtering resulting in a double texture based on U-shape craters for the softer roughness, and a cauliflower-like textured surface for the higher roughness one. The morphology, structure, optical and electrical properties of the ZnO:Al layers deposited over these textured glasses are described and the suitability of these textured substrates for thin film Si solar cells (c-Si p type/ a-Si p-i-n) is also presented.
