Popis: In0.135Ga0.865N/GaN p–i–n solar cells are fabricated and investigated with three types of transparent current spreading layers (TCSLs): Ni/Au layer type (Ni/Au-L), Ni/Au grid type (Ni/Au-G), and ITO layer type (ITO-L). The performance of solar cell is improved with optimized TCSL and the best result is achieved in device with ITO-L. These results indicate that TCSL can strongly affect the device property, and its optimization is necessary in order to obtain better photovoltaic performance.
