Abstracts

EN

In this work we present a detailed characterization of the interface TCO/TiO₂ layer in order to improve the final efficiency of the solar cell. High resolution SEM measurements done in cross-section configuration as well as optical measurements were performed to obtain a topographic and optical image of measured layer.
