Structures photovoltaïques à base de CIGS
Mono-chalcogénures 3D et 2D : croissance et transport
Using our know-how on the growth of chalcogenides, and having the proper growth tools, we are interested to grow layers and structures of mono-chalcogenides, such as InSe and GaSe, in order to (…)
This is the most important characterizations to assess the quality of the devices, but also to get some insights on the physical mechanisms regarding impurities, traps, ...
We use X-ray diffraction to assess the material quality, measure the crystalline domain sizes and determine the composition fo the alloys
Optical characterization is an efficient way to determine material quality and purity, as well as to determine the bandgap of the CIGS alloy.
The n-type layer of the junction which constitutes the solar cell is deposited by a very simple technique, using chemical baths.
Atomic Force Microscopy (SEM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) are essential tools used at L2C to assess the structural quality of solar cell samples.
The CIGS, main layer (absorber) of the solar cell, is deposited by evaporating all elements in a very high vaccuum.
The RF magnetron sputtering is used in our group to grow the molybdenum back contact and the ZnO transparent window in our cells.
We are involved in the growth of CuInGaSe2 (CIGS) photovoltaic structures. We focus on the physical mechanisms involved in both the growth of the devices and their operation.
