AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent is for a system and method for making a perovskite film by depositing layers of different compositions and thicknesses. The system includes a substrate stage that rotates at a certain speed, two sets of evaporation units, and a shield that has different zones for the evaporation units. The resulting film has multiple layers, each formed by one rotation of the substrate stage. The composition and thickness of each layer can be controlled by adjusting the evaporation rates, rotation speed, and the areas where the evaporation occurs. Overall, this patent describes a way to make highly precise and controlled perovskite films.

Problems solved by technology

However, to date, it has been difficult to obtain highly uniform perovskite films with good stoichiometry based on the existing fabrication techniques.
Furthermore, these existing techniques are not robust enough for fabricating perovskite films for bandgap engineering, multi-junction or Tandem cell fabrication, doping control, heterostructure construction, and other advanced solar cell and optoelectronics applications.

example 1

[0050]There are two evaporation units, containing two BX2 sources, coupled to the bottom section of the chamber and placed in two zones, respectively, where the two BX2 compounds are S1═SnI2 and S2═PbI2; there is one evaporation unit containing AX=MAI, which is coupled to the side section of the chamber or to the bottom section of the chamber with a proper shield structure around it, as illustrated in FIG. 2 or 5. The evaporation rates are: R1=1 ML / rotation, R2=1 ML / rotation, and RMAI=0.5 ML / rotation. The zone area distribution is: A1=A2=0.5′ (A1+A2). The rotation speed is 2 Hz. The evaporation shutters for all the sources are open during deposition. After each rotation, the deposited film comprises the Pb—Sn mixed perovskite with stoichiometry balanced at 1:1 ratio: 0.5 ML MASnI3 / 0.5 ML MAPbI3. After one second, the film comprises two repeating unit layers, i.e., (0.5 ML MASnI3 / 0.5 ML MAPbI3) / (0.5 ML MASnI3 / 0.5 ML MAPbI3).

Abstract

A system and method for fabricating a perovskite film is provided, the system including a substrate stage configured to rotate around its central axis at a rotation speed, a first set of evaporation units, each coupled to the side section or the bottom section of the chamber, a second set of evaporation units coupled to the bottom section, and a shield defining two or more zones having respective horizontal cross-sectional areas, which are open and facing the substrate, designated for the two or more evaporation units in the second set. The resultant perovskite film includes multiple unit layers, wherein each unit layer is formed by one rotation of the substrate stage, and the composition and thickness of the unit layer are controlled by adjusting at least the evaporation rates, the rotation speed and the horizontal cross-sectional areas.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a system and method based on multi-source deposition for fabricating perovskite films.BACKGROUND ART[0002]A solar cell (also called a photovoltaic cell) is an electrical device that converts solar energy directly into electricity by using semiconductors that exhibit the photovoltaic effect. Solar photovoltaics is now, after hydro and wind power, the third most important renewable energy source in terms of globally installed capacity. Constructions of these solar cells are based around the concept of a p-n junction, wherein photons from the solar radiation are converted into electron-hole pairs. Examples of semiconductors used for commercial solar cells include monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, and copper indium gallium diselenide. Solar cell energy conversion efficiencies for commercially available cells are currently reported to be around 14-22%.[0003]High conversion efficien...
