Abstract
A photovoltaic device includes an intrinsic layer having two or more sublayers. The sublayers are intentionally deposited to include complementary concave and convex shapes. The sum of these layers resulting in a relatively flat surface for deposition of n- or p-doped layers. The photovoltaic device is optionally bifacial.
