Solar cells are produced by atomic layer deposition (ALD) of n‐type amorphous zinc‐tin‐oxide buffer layers on electrochemically deposited p‐type cuprous oxide, Cu 2 O, absorber layers. The diethylzinc precursor in the ALD process reduces Cu 2+ ‐related defects at the heterojunction interface, improving the solar‐cell open‐circuit voltage. An NREL‐certified power conversion efficiency of 2.85% is reported.
