Abstract This paper identifies the contributions of p–a–SiC:H layers and i–a–Si:H layers to the open circuit voltage of p–i–n type a–Si:H solar cells deposited at a low temperature of 125 ℃. We find that poor quality p–a–SiC:H films under regular conditions lead to a restriction of open circuit voltage although the band gap of the i-layer varies widely. A significant improvement in open circuit voltage has been obtained by using high quality p–a–SiC:H films optimized at the “low-power regime” under low silane flow rates and high hydrogen dilution conditions.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
