Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9533284A1] A thin film solar cell based on amorphous, hydrogenated silicon and/or its alloys is disclosed, as well as a process for producing such solar cells. The solar cell is made of a series of layers that comprise a non-doped layer, a buffer layer adjacent and joined to the non-doped layer at the light input side, a p-doped layer adjacent and joined to the latter at the light input side, and a n-doped layer adjacent and joined to the other side of the non-doped layer. The object of the invention is to create a solar cell with increased long-term stabilised effectiveness. For that purpose, a compensation layer is provided in the solar cell between the p-layer and the buffer layer.
