摘要
In order to achieve low cost solar cells, a novel type multinary compound thin film solar cell using ZnInS (II-III-VI) thin film as n-type layer and other layer fabricated by the conventional sputtering process were realized. An AgInTe/ZnInS thin film solar cell fabricated by the conventional sputtering process showed the conversion efficiency is 1.1%. In this study, p-type materials suitable for ZnInS and doping ZnInS with additive elements such as IIa (Ca,Sr) and VIb (O) group elements were investigated to improve the characteristics of ZnInS thin film solar cell. As the results, the best conversion efficiency of 2.8% was obtained CuInGaSe/CaZnInS thin film solar cell. This value is superior to that of AgInTe/ZnInS thin film solar cell by 2.5 times.
