Issue Date: | 2019 | Source: | Proceedings 2019 - 46th IEEE PVSC Conference - Chicago, IL, | Abstract: | Producing the green energy of tomorrow will require highly efficient as well as energy --, and cost eff ective solar cells in addition to having reasonable lifetimes To determine if CIGS can be made to submit to these constraints , we produced ultrathin (500nm ) single stage coevaporated CIGS solar cells . We doped these cells with varying amounts and t ypes of a lkali atoms a nd submitted them to accelerated lifetime testing Results showed definite effect of the a lkali concen tration on the degradation of the cells b ut showed limited mig ration. Inste ad, the seeping of water into the gra in bounda rie s was identified as the main culprit for perf ormance degradati on. | Keywords: | ultra thin solar cells; CIGS; alkali doping; materials reliability | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/29777 | Category: | C2 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
