CIGS 태양전지의 윈도우 층에 적용 가능한 스퍼터링으로 증착한 AZO 박막의 공정압력의 영향에 따른 특성 연구

Abstract

For various process pressures, aluminum doped zinc oxide(AZO) films were deposited by in-line pulsed-DC sputtering. The deposited AZO films were optically and electrically investigated and analyzed for the window layers of CIGS solar cell systems. As the pressure was increased from 9 mtorr to 15 mtorr, the thickness of AZO was decreased as a result of scattering and its sheet resistance was rapidly increased. The transmittance of AZO was slightly decreased as the pressure was increased and the calculation of figure of merit(F.O.M) was dependent on the sheet resistance. The structural characteristics of AZO thin films analyzed by X-ray diffraction(XRD) showed no significant dependency according to the pressure.
