摘要
Thin-film polycrystalline solar cells with the structure ZnO/CdZnS/CuInGaSe2 have been fabricated with total area efficiencies of up to 12.5 percent under AM1.5 equivalent illumination and 10.5 percent under AMO equivalent. These are among the highest total area efficiencies reported for polycrystalline thin-film solar cells. Current-voltage and quantum efficiency data for such a high efficiency cell are given. Described are the deposition of the CuInGaSe2 by physical vapor deposition in vacuum, the CdZnS by chemical deposition from solution, and the ZnO by reactive sputtering. The electrical and optical properties of the individual layers have been inferred from measurements on complete devices and on separate witness layers. Optical constants and thicknesses obtained from these measurements for the device layers are presented and the requirements for optimizing the device efficiency discussed. © 1990 IEEE
