Laser Scribing: a Key Enabling Technology for Manufacturing of Low Cost Thin Film Photovoltaic Cells
Solar cells are becoming a highly promising alternative energy source for various markets. In the last five years or so a tremendous amount of research effort has been put into increasing the efficiency of solar cell technology and reducing its manufacturing cost. It is believed that success in both of these areas will further propel its use in various markets. The two major structures commerci...
متن کاملRemoval Mechanism and Defect Characterization for Glass-Side Laser Scribing of CdTe/CdS Multilayer in Solar Cells
Laser scribing is an important manufacturing process used to reduce photocurrent and resistance losses and increase solar cell efficiency through the formation of serial interconnections in large-area solar cells. High-quality scribing is crucial since the main impediment to large-scale adoption of solar power is its high production cost (price-per-watt) compared to competing energy sources suc...
متن کاملCIGS thin-film solar module processing: case of high-speed laser scribing
In this paper, we investigate the laser processing of the CIGS thin-film solar cells in the case of the high-speed regime. The modern ultra-short pulsed laser was used exhibiting the pulse repetition rate of 1 MHz. Two main P3 scribing approaches were investigated - ablation of the full layer stack to expose the molybdenum back-contact, and removal of the front-contact only. The scribe quality ...
متن کاملPolyacetylene thin film photovoltaic devices
2014 Photovoltaic devices have been obtained by a direct polymerization of undoped (or p-type doped) thin film (CH)x layer onto a polycrystalline cadmium sulfide film. The morphology of the contact is observed by S.E.M. microscopy. The electrical characteristics of this device are studied in the dark or under illumination. The main result, at AM1, 100 mW/cm2 with doped (CH)x correspond to 0.5 p...
متن کاملDesign and fabrication of photonic crystal thin film photovoltaic cells
We present the integration of an absorbing planar photonic crystal within a thin film photovoltaic cell. The devices are based on a stack including a hydrogenated amorphous silicon P-i-N junction surrounded by TCO layers, with a back metallic contact. Optical simulations exhibit a significant increase of the integrated absorption in the 300-720nm wavelength range. The global electro-optical cha...
