Abstract of the Disclosure A thin-film solar cell is made up of semi- conductor layers formed on a substrate. The substrate includes an insulator containing electrically conduc- ting nucleation sites which is interposed between the electrical contact of the substrate and the adjacent semiconductor. The insulator can also be optically transparent. Grain boundaries and voids terminate on the insulator. The solar cell is fabricated by selec- tively introducing nucleation sites into the insulator layer which is formed on the substrate material, and activating the nucleation sites during growth of the semiconductor layers.
