1. A method of producing a thin-film photovoltaic device, comprising:
- forming on a substrate a first thin-film absorber layer using a first deposition process; and
forming on the first thin-film absorber layer a second thin-film absorber layer using a second deposition process different from the first deposition process, wherein the first and second thin-film absorber layers are each photovoltaically active regions.

Abstract
A method is provided for producing a thin-film photovoltaic device. The method includes forming on a substrate a first thin-film absorber layer using a first deposition process. A second thin-film absorber layer is formed on the first thin-film absorber layer using a second deposition process different from the first deposition process. The first and second thin-film absorber layers are each photovoltaically active regions and the second thin-film absorber layer has a smaller concentration of defects than the first thin-film absorber layer.
