摘要:
Embodiments relate to a method including forming a layer of copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) on a first layer of molybdenum (Mo) and annealing the CZTS layer and the first Mo layer to form a layer of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) between the layer of CZTS and the first layer of Mo. The method includes forming a back contact on a first surface of the CZTS layer opposite the first Mo layer and separating the first Mo layer and the MoS2 layer from the CZTS layer to expose a second surface of the CZTS layer opposite the first surface. The method further includes forming a buffer layer on the second surface of the CZTS layer.

Embodiments relate to a solar cell apparatus including a molybdenum (Mo) contact layer and an annealed absorber layer including zinc and sulfur directly adjacent to the Mo contact layer. The apparatus has no molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) layer located between the Mo contact layer and the annealed absorber layer. The apparatus further includes a buffer layer adjacent to the annealed absorber layer.

Techniques for fabricating thin film solar cells are provided. In one aspect, a method of fabricating a solar cell includes the following steps. A molybdenum (Mo)-coated substrate is provided. Absorber layer constituent components, two of which are sulfur (S) and selenium (Se), are deposited on the Mo-coated substrate. The S and Se are deposited on the Mo-coated substrate using thermal evaporation in a vapor chamber. Controlled amounts of the S and Se are introduced into the vapor chamber to regulate a ratio of the S and Se provided for deposition. The constituent components are annealed to form an absorber layer on the Mo-coated substrate. A buffer layer is formed on the absorber layer. A transparent conductive electrode is formed on the buffer layer.

Techniques for fabricating thin film solar cells, such as CuZnSn(S,Se) (CZTSSe) solar cells are provided. In one aspect, a method of fabricating a solar cell is provided that includes the following steps. A substrate is provided. The substrate is coated with a molybdenum (Mo) layer. A stress-relief layer is deposited on the Mo layer. The stress-relief layer is coated with a diffusion barrier. Absorber layer constituent components are deposited on the diffusion barrier, wherein the constituent components comprise one or more of sulfur (S) and selenium (Se). The constituent components are annealed to form an absorber layer, wherein the stress-relief layer relieves thermal stress imposed on the absorber layer, and wherein the diffusion barrier blocks diffusion of the one or more of S and Se into the Mo layer. A buffer layer is formed on the absorber layer. A transparent conductive electrode is formed on the buffer layer.

摘要:
A process for cheaply fabricating a substantially single crystal or a polycrystalline semiconductor structure on a host substrate. The process begins by depositing a layer of wide band gap nitride material 10, such as gallium nitride, aluminum nitride and/or indium nitride, on a sapphire substrate 11. The semiconductor structure 14 is then grown on the nitride layer. Next, the host substrate 15 is attached with a bonding agent to an exposed surface area of the semiconductor structure 14. The sapphire substrate is lifted off by irradiation in which nitrogen is dissociated from the nitride layer.

The present invention provides a metal stack structure that stabilizes the flatband voltage and threshold voltages of material stacks that include a Si-containing conductor and a Hf-based dielectric. This present invention stabilizes the flatband voltages and the threshold voltages by introducing a rare earth metal-containing layer into the material stack that introduces, via electronegativity differences, a shift in the threshold voltage to the desired voltage. Specifically, the present invention provides a metal stack comprising: a hafnium-based dielectric; a rare earth metal-containing layer located atop of, or within, said hafnium-based dielectric; an electrically conductive capping layer located above said hafnium-based dielectric; and a Si-containing conductor.
