METHOD OF FORMING OPTOELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING A STABILIZED METAL OXIDE LAYER

The present invention is a method comprising depositing a metal oxide layer as part of the production of an optoelectrically active device and exposing the metal oxide layer to a reactive agent to form a relatively hydrophobic surface. The invention also includes device so made preferably a photovol...

Zusammenfassung:The present invention is a method comprising depositing a metal oxide layer as part of the production of an optoelectrically active device and exposing the metal oxide layer to a reactive agent to form a relatively hydrophobic surface. The invention also includes device so made preferably a photovoltaic device which shows improved stability as compared to devices not subject to the treatment.
