Abstract: An apparatus for performing a selenization and sulfurization process on a glass substrate is introduced. A low-cost, non-toxic selenization and sulfurization process is performed on a large-area glass substrate in a normal-pressure environment with the apparatus to turn element selenium or sulfur into small molecules of high activity at high temperature by pyrolysis or by plasma, especially linear atmospheric pressure plasma. The process is finalized by dispersing the selenium or sulfur molecules uniformly and allowing the glass substrate to undergo reciprocating motion precisely, thereby achieving large-area, uniform selenization and sulfurization of the one-piece glass substrate.

Abstract: A selenization/sulfurization process apparatus for use with a single-piece glass substrate is characterized by two chambers for heating up a glass substrate quickly and performing selenization/sulfurization on the glass substrate to not only prevent the glass substrate from staying at a soaking temperature of a softening point for a long period of time but also increase the thin-film selenization/sulfurization temperature according to the needs of the process to thereby reduce the duration of soaking selenization/sulfurization, save energy, and save time. The glass substrate undergoes reciprocating motion in the chambers to not only attain uniform temperature throughout the glass substrate but also distribute a selenization/sulfurization gas across the glass substrate uniformly during the selenization/sulfurization operation. The recycled liquid selenium/sulfur and inert gas are reusable to thereby reduce material costs.

Moreover, in the present disclosure, a film thickness measuring module is used for measures the thickness of the CIGS chalcopyrite crystalline film on the flexible solar cell substrate, and the thickness data of the CIGS chalcopyrite crystalline film would be transmitted to the electromechanical control module for being references of the parameter modulation of following fabricating process, and such way is so-called APC (Advanced Process Control) system.

Abstract: A selenization process apparatus for a glass substrate includes a first heating unit disposed in a chamber; a conveying heating module disposed in the chamber and below the first heating unit to not only drive the glass substrate to move but also heat the glass substrate, wherein a thermal mark otherwise formed as a result of contact between the conveying heating module and the glass substrate is reduced with an inert gas; a selenium gas feeding module connected to the chamber to introduce selenium gas into the chamber; and a gas recycling module connected to the chamber to recycle the selenium gas and the inert gas. The glass substrate is prevented from staying at a soaking temperature above the softening point for a long period of time. Selenization temperature is increased to speed up the selenization process. The selenium gas and the inert gas are recycled and reused.
