Abstract
The current work is concerned with heterojunctions consist of transparent oxide semiconductors (TOSs) deposited on different silicon (Si) substrates using in photovoltaics. The TOS-Si heterojunctions were fabricated by high energy reactive magnetron sputtering (HE RMS). The sputtering was performed from V metallic foils located on Ti target. As a TOS materials the mixed titanium-vanadium (Ti-V) oxides have been selected. The nanocrystalline titanium-vanadium thin films have high transmission coefficient (ca. 76 % in visible spectral range), resistivity 105 ¿cm at room temperature and n-type electrical conduction. Additionally, the TOS films deposited on Si substrate perform a antireflection function through reduce reflection coefficient of pure Si ones. Based on current to voltage (I-V) measurements of different TOS-Si heterojunctions, the existence of a photoelectric effect under the influence of active area radiation has been found. Therefore, the applicability of mixed titanium-vanadium oxides to various photovoltaics application has been discussed.
