Pulse Duration and Wavelength Effects in Laser Scribing of Thin-Film Polycrystalline PV Materials

Pulse Duration and Wavelength Effects in Laser Scribing of Thin-Film Polycrystalline PV Materials

NREL

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

This project is focused on a study of wavelength-dependent effects and pulse-duration effects on laser scribing of polycrystalline thin-film PV materials. The materials studied here are CdTe, Ci(G)S, SnO2, ZnO, molybdenum and gold. This paper provides a summary of thresholds and optimum scribing energy densities for two types of Nd:YAG lasers, a 308 nm excimer laser, and a copper vapor laser. Acomparison is presented of glass-side vs. film-side scribing. Discussion is also given of scribing of multilayer films such as ZnO/CIS/moly and gold/CdTe/Sno2.
