Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 prepared by a 2 and 3-stage hybrid RF-magnetron sputtering and Se evaporation method: Properties and solar cell performance
The potential of RF-magnetron sputtering to achieve high quality Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 (CIGS) thin films and efficient solar cells with the goal of using a single technique for all solar cell processing steps is explored. The end point detection method was adapted to RF-magnetron deposition of CIGS in two- or three stages sputtering process. It allows the control of the final composition of the deposited layers in a reproducible way. The influence of substrate temperature and Ar pressure during the deposition on the surface and crossectional morphology of CIGS films was studied for two and three-stage sputtering process sequence. The solar cells prepared with films deposited by two-stage sputtering nave showed a better performance with maximum efficiency above 8%.
