SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SOLAR CELLS WITH CIS AND CIGS FILMS MADE BY REACTING EVAPORATED COPPER CHLORIDES WITH SELENIUM

摘要

Systems and methods for solar cells with CIS and CIGS films made by reacting evaporated copper chlorides with selenium are provided. In one embodiment, a method for fabricating a thin film device comprises: providing a semiconductor film comprising indium (In) and selenium (Se) upon a substrate; heating the substrate and the semiconductor film to a desired temperature; and performing a mass transport through vapor transport of a copper chloride vapor and se vapor to the semiconductor film within a reaction chamber.
