For improving the reproducibility of the deposition system process control strategies are in evaluation and testing. The CIGS deposition process was automatised by using computer control with recording options for the most important process parameters by developing suitable software programs. Testing of alternative back contact materials Deposition of alternative materials such as transparent conductive oxides is in progress. Refining of the deposition conditions should yield stress and crack free layers suitable for depositing high efficiency CIGS layers. The new solar cell structures would give benefits by the higher reflectivity and improved chemical stability of the new materials. National and international collaboration Some aspects of this project benefit from the collaboration with FLISOM AG, an ETHZ spin-off company and other national and European projects in the thin film physics group. Evaluation 2007 and Outlook 2008 The investigation of the custom build evaporators and in-line deposition equipment has shown promising results in terms of the structural layer homogeneity, namely compositional and thickness distribution over the processable deposition width. Nevertheless, process reliability and control needs further improvement for ensuring a high efficiency on large area substrates. Possible control tools are under evaluation and will be tested in then next process period. Further the deposition parameters need optimization for reaching envisaged efficiencies beyond 10%. The chemical bath deposition step has successfully been adapted to large areas by using a new set-up design. More routine work is required fine-tune the thin layer deposition free of particulate by-products. First tests with the deposition of alternative back contact materials have shown promising results. In 2008 activities will focus on improving the overall solar cell processing for higher efficiencies and gain experience for continuous in-line processing. Large Area Flexible CIGS, D.
