Abstract
There is provided a method of coating a substrate with a zinc oxide film. The method includes (a) providing a substrate with at least one substantially flat surface, (b) subjecting the surface at least partially to a plasma-etching process, and (c) depositing on the etched surface, a layer that includes zinc oxide. The method is particularly suitable for manufacturing solar cells.
