摘要
In order to advance the Cu(in,Ga)Se-2 (CIGS) thin-film technology to mass production maturity, ZSW and Wuerth Solar are running two lines: Wuerth Solar's pilot production line for 0.7 m(2) modules gives experience in industrial processing and the ZSW line for 0.09 m(2) modules is flexible enough to test new materials and processes. Baseline processes regularly produce CIGS thin-film modules with over 74 Wp. Failure mechanisms like local shunts and ohmic losses are investigated, by thermographic imaging. New process variations (atomic layer chemical vapor deposition (ALCVD) Cd-free buffers, reactively sputtered ZnO:Al) already result in module efficiencies > 10 % in the ZSW line..
