Abstract:
Provided are a CIS/CGS/CIGS thin-film manufacturing method and a solar cell manufactured by using the same. The CIS/CGS/CIGS thin-film manufacturing method enables CIS, CGS, and CIGS thin-films through depositing an electrode layer on a substrate and depositing a light absorber layer by sputtering a single target of each of CIS including copper (Cu), indium (In), and selenium (Se) and CGS copper (Cu), gallium (Ga) and selenium (Se). In addition, a solar cell having excellent structural, optical and electrical properties is prepared by using the same. Thus, a thin-film can be prepared by depositing a CIG, CGS, or CIGS light absorber layer with a single sputtering process by using a single target of each of CIS (CuInSe2) and CGS (CuGaSe2), to thereby enable to manufacture thin-films of various characteristics according to a control of a composition ratio of In and Ga as well as simplification of the process, and to thus provide a very favorable effect on the economics and efficiency.
Abstract:
A flexible Ti—In—Zn—O transparent electrode for a dye-sensitized solar cell includes a flexible transparent substrate, and a Ti—In—Zn—O thin-film on the flexible transparent substrate. The Ti—In—Zn—O thin-film has an amorphous structure. The flexible transparent electrode, despite being deposited at room or low temperature, has low surface resistance, high conductivity and transmittance, superior resistance against external bending, improved surface characteristics and better surface roughness performance.
