Bandgap shifting and crystalline quality of rf-sputtered intrinsic-zno nanofilm for tfsc application
Intrinsic Zinc Oxide (i-ZnO) is a promising material and has been applied in many types of solar cell structures, and particularly in thin film solar cells (TFSC) where it is normally used as the n-type layer or as normally addressed, the buffer or window layer. In this work, ZnO nanofilm was deposi...
