The effect of NaF on Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin film solar cells
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract This work investigates NaF, on Mo coated sodium barrier glass, as a sodium precursor for the growth of Cu(In, Ga)Se 2 for thin film solar cells. These precursor layers are investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) before and after annealing, and after exposure to selenium. XPS is also performed on the Cu(In, Ga)Se 2 layer, deposited with NaF. The influence of the NaF on the absorber growth is studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The electrical properties are investigated by cell fabrication and characterization. Cell results are comparable when NaF or out-diffusion of sodium from the soda lime glass are used.
