Title: Recent Progress in CIGS Thin Film Solar Cell Research at NREL: Preprint

Conference ·
OSTI ID:15000021

Presented at the 2001 NCPV Program Review Meeting: This paper summarizes our work toward improving reproducibility in fabricating high efficiency absorbers and devices. This paper summarizes our work toward improving reproducibility in fabricating high efficiency absorbers and devices. This resulted in the fabrication of a CIGS cell with an efficiency of 21% under concentrated light. We compare devices fabricated with CdS and with Cd solution treatment alone. A high conversion efficiency of 15.7% is obtained with the latter, and we attribute this to the n-type doping afforded by Cd. The work is extended to absorbers provided by Siemens Solar Industries (SSI).
