We have developed a microcrystalline fluorinated p-italic/sup +/ silicon alloy which has high dark conductivity and low optical loss. Incorporation of this material in single and tandem amorphous silicon alloy based solar cells has resulted in increased open circuit voltage and conversion efficiency.
