摘要
We report a total-area efficiency of 15.9% for flexible Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 thin film solar cells on polyimide foil (cell area 0.95 cm(2)). The absorber layer was grown by a multi-stage deposition process at a maximum nominal process temperature of 420 degrees C. The Na was added via evaporation of a NaF layer prior to the absorber deposition leading to an enhanced V-oc and FF. Growth conditions and device characterization are described.
