CuInGaSe Based Thin Films for Photovoltaic Solar Cells
Abstract
The authors present a brief overview of thin film photovoltaics, focusing on technologies that could play an important role in the manufacturing of next generation of solar cells. Over the past decade, there have been tremendous research and development efforts worldwide, to address the issues and challenges that thin film photovoltaic technologies are facing. Recently however, there has been great hope that advances in nanotechnology may open the door for breakthroughs in photovoltaics research. In particular, significant opportunities exist in the area of nanostructured materials, fueled by recent advances in equipment and processes that allow manipulation of materials at the atomic and molecular level, thus facilitating precise fabrication techniques and device characterization at the nanometer scale. This chapter mainly focuses on two promising technologies, Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) and nanocrystalline silicon solar cells. Heterojunctions based on CIGS have been studied for several years, and have shown very stable performance in field tests.
