Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, since the non-vacuum method is used to deposit the CdS buffer layer, it cannot form an effective connection with the vacuum preparation process of the CIGS absorber layer commonly used in laboratories and industries. In the process of taking out and storing the CIGS absorber layer Among them, the CIGS absorber layer will increase the CdS / CIGS interface state due to surface contamination and oxidation, resulting in enhanced recombination at the interface, thereby affecting the heterojunction characteristics of CdS / CIGS, and ultimately affecting the battery performance, especially the open circuit voltage V OC and fill factor FF adversely affect
