ZnS/Zn(O,OH)S-Based Buffer Layer Deposition for Solar Cells

Raghu Bhattacharya (Inventor)

Research output: Patent

Abstract

The invention provides CBD ZnS/Zn(O,OH)S and spray deposited ZnS/Zn(O,OH)S buffer layers prepared from a solution of zinc salt, thiourea and ammonium hydroxide dissolved in a non-aqueous/aqueous solvent mixture or in 100% non-aqueous solvent. Non-aqueous solvents useful in the invention include methanol, isopropanol and triethyl-amine. One-step deposition procedures are described for CIS, CIGSand other solar cell devices.
