    Sputtered Thin Film Photovoltaics

    Uploaded by

    U.S. Naval Research Laboratory
    The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has developed a suite of processes for the fabrication of bulk and sputtered thin film copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) and related materials for photovoltaic (PV) applications. These processes result in films with better uniformity over large areas than existing techniques such as evaporation. The technology developed at NRL permits the fabrication of high purity bulk samples with a large range of compositions which are then converted into targets that can be sputtered to make films with optimum properties for PV applications, ultimately resulting in a more efficient solar cell. These NRL technologies permit optimized PV films to be deposited in a single deposition step with a high degree of uniformity and control over film composition.
