Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 (CIGS) and related semiconducting compounds have demonstrated their high potential for high-eciency thin-ยฎlm solar cells. The highest eciency for CIGS-based thin-ยฎlm solar cells has been achieved with CdS buer layers prepared by a solution growth method known as chemical bath depositio

This contribution is a summary of an international, interdisciplinary workshop dedicated to defects in chalcopyrite semiconductors and their relation to the device characteristics of thin-ยฎlm solar cells, held on 3ยฑ5 June 1996 in Oberstdorf, Germany. Results of dierent characterization methods were
We investigate Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 -based solar cells with a new ZnSe buer layer deposited by metal-organic vapour deposition and compare their electronic properties to reference cells using a standard CdS buer layer. The best solar cell with a ZnSe buer layer achieves an eciency of 11 . 6%. We further in
A lift-o process has been developed to obtain Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 solar cells on ยฏexible polymer sheets. The absorber layer is grown by a co-evaporation method on a polyimide layer, which is spin coated on a NaCl covered glass substrate. The NaCl intermediate layer can provide Na to the Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 laye
