چکیده
Thin ®lm solar modules based on Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) have a very high potential to reduce production costs for photovoltaic modules. The challenge is to combine the large area issues with high throughput and yield with the high quality of the device. ZSW has developed inline processes for almost all process steps for glass/glass modules and reaches a 12.7% ef®ciency level with high yield for 30£30 cm CIGS modules. A 30£30 cm Cd-free module with nearly 10% ef®ciency is realised after a short time of development. The modules are very stable in the damp/heat test. These results qualify the process to start the next scaling up step. WuÈrth Solar GmbH & Co. KG, a joint venture of ZSW, WuÈrth group, and EnBW AG, was founded to commercialise CIGS technology and PV products. A cost estimation will be given, which considers the sensitivity of the relevant input parameters. With medium risk assumptions the manufacturing costs of CIGS modules for a 60 MWp/a capacity are about 0.6 Euro/Wp. q 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

A method to grow high-quality SiGe graded buffer layer is presented. The main concept of the method is to use Sb as a surfactant when growing SiGe graded layers. Compared with a Si0.5Ge0.5 graded sample without Sb surfactant, the Sb-assisted Si0.5Ge0.5 graded layer has much smoother surface and a signi®cantly lower threading dislocation density. Thermal conductivity of a symmetrically strained ...

A new sol±gel route was applied to prepare alumina ®lms by using AlCl3 ́6H2O as starting material and acetylacetone (AcAc) as additive. Our research results show that AcAc and aluminum form a complex compound in the sol, which makes the sol very stable. Meanwhile, the complex structure prevents the decomposition going on quickly during the sintering process and the obtained ®lms are free of crac...

We have obtained further insights into the CBD growth mechanisms of ZnS thin ®lms using an aqueous medium containing an ammonium salt. At room temperature the optimum concentration of this salt has enabled us to increase the thickness of the ®lm by more than 400%. The optical transmission below the band edge of our best ®lm is also found to be excellent. q 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights ...

We report on the observation of ,1.54 mm guided wave absorption and ̄uorescence in channel waveguides fabricated in erbium-doped thin-®lm epitaxial BaTiO3. Luminescence transient measurements indicate that the relaxation of the excited Er ions is dominantly radiative. q 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
