RESUMO
We investigated the near infrared enhancement in Cu(In,Ga)Se(2) (CIGS)- based solar cells utilizing a hydrogen-doping ZnO (ZnO:H) window layer. The results show that the carrier concentration of ZnO:H film is lower than that of AZO film which can increase the transmittance in the NIR. The advantage of ZnO:H film is higher Hall mobility than AZO film. Thus ZnO:H film has similar resistivity to AZO film. It was found that the cell efficiency was 12.4 and 13% for the AZO device and the ZnO:H device, respectively. The cell efficiency is enhanced by 4.8%. Furthermore, the results indicate that, the ZnO:H film is superior to the AZO film as the window layer for CIGS-based solar cells.

RESUMO
Negative charge material, AlOxNy, has been fabricated to passivate the surface of p-type silicon. The fabrication of AlOxNy was possible by using ion beam sputtering deposition to deposit AlN thin film on the surface of a p-type silicon wafer and following annealing in oxygen ambient. Capacitance-voltage analysis shows the fixed charge density has increased from 10(11) cm(-2) to 2.26×10(12) cm(-2) after annealing. The solar cell efficiency increased from 15.9% to 17.3%, which is also equivalent to the reduction of surface recombination velocity from 1×10(5) to 32 cm/s.
