摘要：

We propose the use of transparent replicated random nanostructures fabricated via nanoimprinting on glass as next-generation superstrates for thin film silicon solar cells. We validate our approach by demonstrating short-circuit current densities for p-i-n hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon solar cells as high as for state-of-the-art nanotextured ZnO front electrodes. Our methodology opens exciting possibilities to integrate a large variety of nanostructures into p-i-n solar cells and allows to systematically investigate the influence of interface morphology on the optical and electronic properties of the device in order to further improve device performance.
