NOVELTY - The layer has a surface morphology that is formed of an alternation of bosses and troughs, where the troughs have a smooth and round base. The troughs have a radius greater than 25 nanometer. Space between the bosses and the troughs is comprised between 100 and 800 nanometer. Distance between peaks of the bosses is comprised between 100 and 1500 nanometer. Sides of the layer form, with a substrate of a photoelectric device e.g. photodetector, an angle whose median of an absolute value is comprised between 30 and 75 degrees.    USE - Textured transparent conductive oxide layer e.g. zinc oxide layer, tin oxide layer, indium oxide, ITO layer and cadmium stannate layer, for being deposited on a substrate of a thin layered photoelectric device (claimed) e.g. photovoltaic cell, solar cell such as hydrogenated amorphous silicon solar cell, microcrystalline hydrogenated silicon solar cell, multijunction type thin layer cell, tandem solar cell, cadmium telluride solar cell, chalcopyrite based solar cell, amorphous silicon and germanium alloy based solar cell and organic solar cell, and photodetector such as hydrogenated amorphous silicon photodetector, microcrystalline hydrogenated silicon photodetector, multijunction type thin layer cell, tandem photodetector, cadmium telluride photodetector, chalcopyrite based photodetector, amorphous silicon and germanium alloy based photodetector and organic photodetector, for forming the photoelectric device, where the device is utilized for generating electric energy and for converting a light ray into an electric signal.    ADVANTAGE - The troughs have the smooth and round bottom and the sides of the layer form, with the substrate, the angle whose median of the absolute value is comprised between 30 and 75 degrees, so that the layer has a better light trapping capacity and ensures a satisfying ulterior growth of a photoelectric layer.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method for producing a textured transparent conductive layer.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a profile of a zinc oxide layer that is chemically deposited.    Zinc oxide layer profile (a)
