  • Reactive Sputtering of ZnS(O,H) and InS(O,H) for Use as a Buffer Layer
    Publication number: 20130160831
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a solar cell including providing a substrate, depositing a first electrode over the substrate and depositing at least one p-type semiconductor absorber layer over the first electrode. The p-type semiconductor absorber layer comprises a copper indium selenide (CIS) based alloy material. The method also includes depositing by reactive sputtering an n-type In-VI semiconductor layer over the at least one p-type semiconductor absorber layer and depositing a second electrode over the n-type In-VI semiconductor layer.
