|
The present study aims at investigating the influence of Ar sputtering gas pressure on the properties of molybdenum back contact (deposited on soda-lime glass) and consequences on co-evaporated Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGSe) absorber layer and related solar cell. Films 300nm thick have been grown with argon pressure between 0 center dot 75 and 11 center dot 25mTorr; these films have been characterized by several techniques showing that the increase of the sputtering pressure yields wider amorphous areas, containing oxygen and sodium, between the molybdenum grains, thus higher sheet resistance. The volume ratio of these amorphous areas is referenced to as porosity. The structural and morphological properties of co-evaporated CIGSe have not been reliably observed influenced by the molybdenum porosity; the only noticeable change is the sodium content of the absorber, which increases with the porosity of the back contact. The impact of the amount of sodium on the device performance has been observed to be very important. On the one hand, as already reported, sodium is beneficial for the open-circuit voltage. On the other hand, a too high amount of sodium is detrimental for the fill factor (hindered shunt resistance), thus the cell efficiency; this latter observation is interpreted as a change in the grain boundary electrical properties.
