Abstract
Two-junction two-terminal p-i-n cells based on amorphous silicon and related amorphous alloys have been extensively studied in order to obtain stable thin film devices. Cell design was based on a realistic model taking into account both optical and transport properties of the intrinsic layers. Experimental results are in fair agreement with calculated data and confirm the possibility of obtaining medium-high efficiency with high photostability.
