Definitions

  • the present invention refers in general to the field of the manufacture of solar cells, and more particularly to thin film solar cells. More specifically, the invention relates to a process for the manufacture of thin film solar cells wherein the light- absorbing layer is formed by a thin layer of Cu(ln,Ga)Se 2 .
  • the main problem in scaling up this three-steps process consists in that, using substrates of large areas, as requested in an industrial process, the use of crossed-beams may bring to a variable composition from an area to the other. It is known that the non-uniform composition of the material is a serious problem because it negatively influences the efficiency of the device, preventing to get high efficiency values. Indeed, Cu(ln,Ga)Se 2 is a quaternary material and, in areas where an excess of Cu is present, it is easy the formation of the binary phase Cu 2 Se which is unstable, freeing Cu and sending short-circuit to the device.
  • An alternative method consists of selenization and/or sulphurization of layers of elements deposited one over the other. These layers are generally deposited by sputtering, electrodeposition or electron gun. However, since In and Ga have rather low melting points (In melts at 156, 6°C and Ga melts at 29,8°C), the preparation of the precursors, consisting in the homogeneous mixture of the layers, is rather complicated and requires long annealing time. Alternatively, a process of rapid warming-up is used (Rapid Thermal annealing, RTP) that brings in few minutes the substrate to the right temperature of process (500-550°C), at which the layers are exposed to a gas containing H 2 Se or H 2 S for the selenization or sulphurization (Y.
  • RTP Rapid Thermal annealing
  • H 2 Se and H 2 S have been used instead of Se or S because they have a greater reactivity which is apparently necessary when the selenization or sulphurization are made by a process of rapid warming-up.
  • H 2 Se as well as H 2 S are very poisonous gases and therefore they should not be used in an industrial production, except when using precautions and very stringent procedures of use, that would however increase the manufacture costs of the final device.
  • a purpose of the present invention is therefore to provide a process for the manufacture of solar cells which is able to overcome the drawbacks highlighted above for the prior art processes.
