abstract = {In this study, nanoimprint processing was used to realize
various multiscale textures on glass substrates for
application in thin-film photovoltaic devices. The
multiscale textures are formed by a combination of large and
small features, which proofed to be beneficial for light
trapping in silicon thin-film solar cells. Two approaches
for the fabrication of multiscale textures are presented in
this study. In the first approach, the multiscale texture is
realized at the lacquer/transparent conductive oxide (TCO)
interface, and in the second approach, the multiscale
texture is realized at the TCO/Si interface. Various types
of multiscale textures were fabricated and tested in
microcrystalline thin-film silicon solar cells in p-i-n
configuration to identify the optimal texture for the light
management. It was found that the best light-scattering
multiscale texture was realized using an imprint-textured
glass substrate, which contains large craters, in
combination with HF-etched TCO (ZnO:Al), which contains
small features, on top of the imprint. With this structure
(of the second approach), the short-circuit current density
of the solar cell devices was improved by 0.6 mA/cm2 using
multiscale textures realized by nanoimprint processing.},
