The effects of the contact material on the photovoltaic characteristics of the fabricated solar cells. It was found that the conversion efficiency was higher than that of the p-CoO/n-Si thin film solar cells, which may attributed to the role of Au-doped CoO layer as a hole collector as well as a barrier for charge recombination.
