Abstract
VALLEJO, William et al. Synthesis and characterization of In(O;OH)S/AgInS2 interface heterojunction. Tecnura [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.spe, pp.30-40. ISSN 0123-921X. https://doi.org/10.14483/udistrital.jour.tecnura.2014.DSE1.a02.
In this work, we presented some complementary studies for In(O,OH)S thin films deposited on AgInS2 thin films to fabricate a new system absorbent-layer/buffer-layer to be used in tandem and/or in one-junction solar cells. As showed in previous works carried out for us, AgInS2 layers were grown by co-evaporation from metal precursors in a two-step process; and In(O,OH)S thin films were deposited by Chemical Bath deposition. X-ray diffraction measurements indicated that AgInS2 thin film grown with chalcopyrite structure; and In(O,OH)S films grown with polycrystalline structure. The AgInS2 thin films presented p-type conductivity, and from transductance measurements it was found a high absorption coefficient (greater than 104 cm−1) and an energy band gap of 1.95 eV; and In(O,OH)S thin films presented Eg about 3.01 eV; morphological analysis indicated that under this synthesis conditions, In(O,OH)S thin films coated completely the AgInS2 absorber layer. Finally, the Avrami-Erofeev equation was used in this work to study In(O,OH)S thin film growth rate on AgInS2 substrate. Results indicate that the developed system can be used in single-junction and multiple junction solar cells.
