Embodiment Construction

[0036] In the following, the invention is elucidated by means of examples.

[0037] The substrate 5 provided with the molybdenum-countercontact layer 6 is placed in the coating chamber. In this case, the layer thickness of the molybdenum countercontact layer 6 lies in the range of 0.5 to 2 μm.

[0038] Now, in a vacuum process with 1×10 -6 and 1×10 -4 The pressure between mbar is coated with Cu(In,Ga)Se on the metal counter contact layer 6 2 semiconductor layer. Here, the metal components from the metal evaporator source 1 evaporate at a ratio of 0.81

[0039] The substrate holder is heated to a temperature between 400 and 550° C. during this coating step.

[0040] Through the setting of the metal evaporator 1 and the resulting ray guide area 4, and through the ion...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for producing a semiconductor layer. The problem addressed is that of increasing the deposition rate of the layer constituents and significantly improving the efficiency of a resulting solar cell. At the same time, the material costs are intended to be reduced. The problem is solved by virtue of the fact that, in a vacuum chamber, metal evaporator sources release Cu, In and / or Ga or the chalcogenide compounds, the latter are focused as metal vapour jets onto the substrate, and Se and / or S emerge(s) in an ionized fashion from a chalcogen low-energy wide-beam ion source and this beam is focused onto the surface of the substrate in such a way that it overlaps the metal vapour jets. A device for carrying out the method is described.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for isolating copper-chlone absorber layers of thin-film solar cells on coating systems in a vacuum process, wherein a special low-energy broad-radiating particle source is used for the production. The development of highly efficient solar cells and their inexpensive fabrication are major goals in optoelectronics. In the development process, thin-film solar cells are of great significance and will open up a larger market share in the future, which is currently dominated by crystalline silicon solar cells. Background technique [0002] The corresponding absorber material employed in thin-film solar cells is CuInSe 2 and its alloy Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 Copper-chalcolide semiconductors Ⅰ-Ⅲ-Ⅵ 2 material system. A suitable thin-layer solar cell structure based on this absorber material consists of a glass substrate on which is coated a metallic counter-contact layer of molybdenum; this is then followed by a copper-...
