  • Layer structure for a thin-film solar cell and production method
    Patent number: 11024758
    Abstract: A layer structure for a thin-film solar cell and production method are provided. The layer structure for the thin-film solar cell includes a photovoltaic absorber layer doped, at least in a region which borders a surface of the photovoltaic absorber layer, with at least one alkali metal. The layer structure has an oxidic passivating layer on the surface of the photovoltaic absorber layer, which is designed to protect the photovoltaic absorber layer from corrosion.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 18, 2015
    Date of Patent: June 1, 2021
    Assignee: Zentrum fuer Sonnenenergie- und Wasserstoff-Forschung Baden-Wuerttemberg
    Inventors: Roland Wuerz, Michael Powalla, Philip Jackson, Dimitrios Hariskos

  • Bath deposition solution for the wet-chemical deposition of a metal sulfide layer and related production method
    Patent number: 9181437
    Abstract: A bath deposition solution for the chemical bath deposition of a metal sulfide layer, a process for the production of such a bath deposition solution, and a process for producing a metal sulfide layer on a substrate using such a bath deposition solution are provided. The bath deposition solution contains a metal salt, an organosulfide, a chelating agent which with metal ions of the metal salt forms a chelate complex and ammonium hydroxide.
