摘要:
The present invention relates to fabrication of photovoltaic devices and more specifically to processing and annealing of absorber layers for photovoltaic devices. Embodiments of the present invention allow fabrication of CIGS absorber layers on aluminum foil substrates. For example, a photovoltaic device includes an aluminum foil substrate (102), an optional base electrode (104) and a nascent absorber (106) including material containing elements of groups IB, IIIA, and (optionally) VIA.

Nanocomposite photovoltaic devices are provided that generally include semiconductor nanocrystals as at least a portion of a photoactive layer. Photovoltaic devices and other layered devices that comprise core-shell nanostructures and/or two populations of nanostructures, where the nanostructures are not necessarily part of a nanocomposite, are also features of the invention. Varied architectures for such devices are also provided including flexible and rigid architectures, planar and non-planar architectures and the like, as are systems incorporating such devices, and methods and systems for fabricating such devices. Compositions comprising two populations of nanostructures of different materials are also a feature of the invention.

A method of fabricating Cuα(In x Ga 1-x )β(Se y S 1-y )γ films for solar cells includes forming an electrode on a substrate and supplying the substrate and electrode with Cu, In, Ga, Se, and S to form a Cuα(In x Ga 1-x )β(Se y S 1-y )γ film. Simultaneously with the supplying of Cu, In, Ga, Se and S, the substrate is supplied with water vapor or a gas that contains a hydroxyl group.

A method of making an image pickup tube target (Fig. 1A), etc., using an amorphous photoconductive layer (4). When an electrode (2 or 7), an amorphous semiconductor layer (4), etc., are provided on a substrate (1 or 6), the steps of ion etching away a surface of the substrate (1 or 6) and forming the electrode (2 or 7) are performed so that a target (Fig. 1A) is produced in which no defects are substantially caused in a reproduced image even if a high electric field is applied across the target.

摘要:
A method for forming an absorber layer of a photovoltaic device comprises forming a nascent absorber layer on a metal foil substrate; and using a roll-to-roll system to transport the substrate through a furnace. The nascent absorber layer and/or substrate is heated in the furnace and in an H 2 Se gas, H 2 S gas, or group VIA vapor without destroying the aluminum foil substrate.
