Ultrasonic chemical bath deposition of ZnS(O,OH) buffer layers and its application to CIGS thin-film solar cells
Cu(In1-x,Ga-X)Se-2(CIGS)-based thin-film solar cells have been fabricated using ultrasonic chemical bath deposition (US-CBD) of ZnS(O,OH) buffer layers. Small particles on the growing film were removed by US vibration. High-efficiency CIGS devices were achieved by one-deposition US-CBD process. It was found that the cell performance, especially FF, was improved by US-CBD. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
