Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we challenged to develop a new back electrode structure for chalcogenide-semiconductor based thin-film solar cell utilizing a MoSi2 capping layer, which is capable of protecting the sulfurization of Mo back electrode. About a 20-nm-thick MoSi2 thin film, which exhibited a good electrical conductivity and prevented sulfur diffusion to the Mo layer, was deposited onto the Mo electrode layer by sputtering and then post annealing was carried out at 800C for 6 hours. It was also observed that annealing of MoSi2 layer under temperature higher than 700C is necessary in order to achieve both good conductivity and efficient suppression of sulfurization of the Mo electrode. By using capping layer, formation of SnS2 crystals was also observed from the CZTS thin film. This result indicated that selective sulfurization could be realized by using the MoSi2 capping layer.
