Title

Cigs2 Thin Films On Large Area Ultralightweight Ti/Sio2 Substrates

Abstract

High efficiency solar cells on ultralightweight Ti substrates can be utilized for novel terrestrial and space applications. Large-area sputtering systems and selenization/sulfurization facility have been constructed and installed for development of large (15 cm × 10 cm) CIGS2 thin-film solar cells for terrestrial and space applications. The primary focus of this research was to fabricate thin film solar cells on insulating, ultralightweight SiO 2 coated Ti foil substrate to increase its specific power for space applications. Leveling capability of sol-gel SiO2 layers onto titanium foil substrate was analyzed by atomic force microscopy and profilometer roughness measurements. Results of planarization of Ti foil substrates using SiO2 coating, sputtering system design upgrade and thickness uniformity of thin films deposited over large area by DC and RF magnetron sputtering sources are presented.
