Abstract:
A photovoltaic device is proposed comprising a silicon-based substrate ( 2 ) having a p-type or n-type doping, with an intrinsic buffer layer ( 4 ) situated on said substrate. A first silicon layer ( 6 ) of a first doping type is situated on predetermined regions ( 4 a ) of the intrinsic buffer layer. The first layer has interstices ( 5 ) between said predetermined regions ( 4 a ). The first silicon layer comprises at least partially a microcrystalline layer at its side away from the substrate. A microcrystalline silicon layer ( 8 ) of a second doping type is situated on said first silicon layer ( 6 ). A third silicon layer ( 10 ) of the second doping type is situated on said intrinsic buffer layer at the interstices, the third silicon layer being amorphous at its side facing said silicon-based substrate and comprising an at least partially microcrystalline layer portion to the side away from the intrinsic buffer layer.

Claim (Index 7):
Photovoltaic device according to  claim 1 , wherein\n said silicon-based substrate is n-type doped and said first type doping is n-type; or said silicon-based substrate is n-type doped and said first type doping is p-type; or said silicon-based substrate is p-type doped and said first type doping is n-type; or said silicon-based substrate is p-type doped and said first type doping is p-type.
